		 (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes ~ 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, 'cause the angels wanna wear my red shoes  
  
Oh, 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's 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  
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  
  
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)  
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
