Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes |
| I’m stoned in the twilight |
| Screaming on the inside |
| Give me your water, help me survive |
| Going to miss the sunlight |
| When I lose my eyesight |
| Give me my red shoes, I want to dance |
| They search for an answer |
| But that old man wouldn’t listen |
| Back then I was handsome |
| Back then he was ignorant |
| And shave off the years now, it’s all inside my head |
| The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed |
| Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer |
| Take my red shoes, I can’t wear them anymore |
| Had garlands in the wings back then |
| All the pretty little things back then |
| Calling out my name, oh what fame brings |
| After curtain calls and bows |
| I can’t see the front row now |
| Hand me my red shoes just one more time |
| They pushed aside our presence |
| They refused to go the distance |
| Back then I was Sigmund |
| Back then he wouldn’t listen |
| They pushed aside our presence |
| They refused to go the distance |
| Back then I was Sigmund |
| Back then he wouldn’t listen |
| Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer |
| Take my red shoes, I can’t wear them anymore |
| I can’t wear them anymore |
