I'm stoned in the twilight, screaming on the inside
Give me your water, help me survive
Gonna miss the sunlight, when I lose my eyesight
Give me my red shoes, I wanna dance
They searched for an answer, but that old man wouldn't listen
Back then, I was handsome
Back then, he was handsome
Back then, he was ignorant
And I shave off the years now
It's all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes
Is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere
Put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them
Anymore
I had garlands in the wings back then
All the pretty little things back then
Calling out my name
Oh, what a thing it brings
At the curtain calls and vows
I don't know what to do
I can't see the front row now
Had me in my red shoes just one more time
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then, I was Zeke Munder
Back then, he wouldn't listen
And I shave off the years now
Back then, I was Zeke Munder
It's all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes
Is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere
Put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them anymore
I can't wear them anymore
They pushed aside our presence
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then, I was Zeke Munder
They refused to go the distance


Back then, I was Zeke Munder
Back then, he would hit me
Back then, back then, he would hit me
Back then, I was Zeke Munder
Back then, I was Harry presumably
Back then, I was Harry presumably
Put my red shoes on
Is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somewhere
Put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them anymore
Put them in a box somewhere
Put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them anymore
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them anymore
Take my red shoes
I can't wear them anymore
I can't wear them anymore
