Tom Waits - Red Shoes lyrics

She wore red shoes by the newsstand The rain splashed the nickel It spilled like chablis all along the midway There's a little bluejay Wearing red shoes on a sad night One straw in a root beer A compact with a cracked mirror A bottle of evening in Paris perfume What is this sad tune He told her to wait in by the magazines For he told her to wait for the magazines Bring a raincoat Bring a suitcase Bring your dark eyes Wear those red shoes red shoes red shoes Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes There's a dark huddle at the bus stop Umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet Caesar got caught Little Caesar got caught going down to second Little Caesar got caught going down to second He was cooled Changing stations on the chamber To steal a diamond ring from a j**elry store for his baby He loved the way she looked in those red shoes He loved the way she looked in those red shoes He loved the way she looked in those red shoes Red shoes red shoes You got to meet me tonight by the d**tore baby Meet me tonight by the d**tore baby Going out tonight Going out tonight wear those red shoes Going out tonight put on those red shoes Going out tonight put on those red shoes Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes Now the hounds splash the nickel full of soldiers Now Santa Claus is drunk in the ski room And it's Christmas Eve in a sad café When the moon gets it's way There's a little blue jay by the news-stand Wearing red shoes She wearing red shoes You got to meet me tonight by the d**tore baby Meet me tonight by the d**tore baby Going out tonight Put on your red shoes Put on your red shoes Put on your red shoes Put on your red shoes Put on your red shoes Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes Red shoes Put on your red shoes baby Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes Red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes red shoes
