Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes

[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.

But since their wings have got rusted,

You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.]
