(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes

Lyrics

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