I go to the corner where it all goes down And i do things i'll regret but not right now They say "angel, you been here before" Yeah, i had my boots to carry me Just like pandora with her box I let everything out and spin around And when they come to me, it's like a river to cross But i have my boots to ferry me And i remember how it feels I always stop and remember but i do it again And i jump up and slap my heels Cause i have my boots on I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face I'd like to see my face on a magazine The things i want, the life i need My boots keep me between I pa**ed out on a subway train
And a woman she came and took my hand But i'm alright i'm okay i can fall like rain Long as i have my boots to help me stand And the streets they empty hour by hour Til they were finally drained and i was all alone And just like pandora, i was sorry now But i had my boots to carry me home The sky is wild and full of holes The wind is wild and it's full of coughs Sometimes i think i'd float away If i took my boots off I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face I'd like to see my face on a magazine The things i want, the life i need My boots keep me between
