Ballad of the boy in red Shoes

Intro:


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 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 somehere, put them in a drawer

Take my red shoes, I can t wear them anymo__________re

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)

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE)


They pushed aside our presence

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 somehere, put them in a drawer

Take my red shoes, I can t wear them anymore.

Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer

Take my red shoes, I can t wear them anymo__________re.

I can t wear them anymore.

I can t wear them anymore.
