Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes |
| You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate |
| The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late |
| If it was love and I was there I’ve forgotten where it lives |
| We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge |
| You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing |
| Reaping the rewards of the fable you’d been sowing |
| I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs |
| Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air |
| Yea I’ve seen your movie |
| And I read it in your book |
| The truth just flew off every page |
| Your songs have all the hooks |
| You’re seven wonders rolled in one |
| You shifted gear to cruise |
| Oh you came to town in headlines |
| And eight hundred dollar shoes |
| Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands |
| Your cloak and dagger legacy’s gone home to no man’s land |
| The marquee lights are flickering your poster’s fading fast |
| Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass |
| Oh you came to town in headlines |
| And eight hundred dollar shoes |
