Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes lyrics

I'm stoned in the twilight

Screaming on the inside

Give me your water

Help me survive

Gonna miss the sunlight

When I lose my eyesight

Give me my red shoes

I wanna 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

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

They pushed aside our presence

And they refused to go the distance

Back then I was Sigmund

Back then he 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

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

I can't wear them anymore
