Im stoned in the twilight, screamin' 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 searched for an answer, but that old man wouldnt listen
Back then I was handsome, back then he was ignorant And shave off the years now, its all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancin' by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore Had garlands in the wings back then, all the pretty little things back then
Callin' out my name, oh what fame brings
After curtain calls and bows I cant 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 wouldnt listen And shave off the years now, its all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancin' by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore They pushed aside our presence, they refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund, back then he wouldnt listen
Back then I was handsome, back then he was ignorant And shave off the years now, its all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancin' by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore
Take my red shoes, I cant wear them anymore
