(Elvis Costello)

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.
|
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.
|
|
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
|
Cause she¡¯s feeling so abused.
|
She gets tired of the lust,
|
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.
|
Angels wanna wear my red shoes.
