ELVIS COSTELLO - Red Shoes lyrics

rate me

Oh I used to be disgusted<br>And now I try to be amused.<br>But since their wings have got rusted,<br>You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.<br>But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,<br>That's when I knew that I could not refuse.<br>And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.<br><br>I was watching while you're dancing away.<br>Our love got fractured in the echo and sway.<br>How come everybody wants to be your friend? <br>You know that it still hurts me just to say it.<br><br>Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)<br>Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)<br>She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)<br>But it's so hard to refuse.<br>How can you say that I'm too old,<br>When the angels have stolen my red shoes.<br><br>Oh, I said I'm so happy, I could die.<br>She said drop dead, then left with another guy.<br>That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance.<br>Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.<br>Oh I used to be disgusted<br>And now I try to be amused.<br>But since their wings have got rusted,<br>You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.<br>Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
