I'm stoned in the twilightScreaming on the insideGive me your water, help me surviveGonna miss the sunlightWhen I lose my eyesightGive me my red shoes, I want to danceThey search for an answerBut that old man wouldn't listenBack then I was handsomeBack then he was ignorantAnd shave off the years now, it's all inside my headThe boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bedPut them in a box somehere, put them in a drawerTake my red shoes, I can't wear them anymoreHad garlands in the wings back thenAll the pretty little things back thenCalling out my name, oh what fame bringsAfter curtain calls and bowsI can't see the front row nowHand me my red shoes just one more timeThey pushed aside our presenceThey refused to go the distanceBack then I was Sigmund
