Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] They pushed aside our presence They refused to go the distance Back then I was Sigmund Back then he wouldn't listen [Chorus] [Outro] 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 [2x]
