Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
You had your grand illusionAnd wrestled with your fateThe winter of your discontentCame twenty years too lateIf it was love, and I was thereI've forgotten where it livesWe both stepped off a frozen rockOnto a burning bridgeYou came like an invasionAll bells and whistles blowingReaping the rewardsOf the fable you'd been sowingI saw you cross the landingDescending marble stairsLike Caesar crossed the RubiconYou seemed to walk on airAnd yeah I've seen your movieAnd I read it in your bookThe truth just flew off every pageYour songs have all the hooksYou're seven wonders rolled in oneYou've shifted gears to cruiseOh you came to town in headlinesAnd eight hundred dollar shoesOh the bellboys are cryingAnd monies changing handsYour cloak and dagger legaciesGone home to No Man's LandThe marquee lights are flickeringYour posters fading fastYour being here just melts awayLike ice cubes in a glassAnd yeah I've seen your movieAnd I read it in your bookThe truth just flew off every pageYour songs have all the hooksYou're seven wonders rolled in oneYou've shifted gears to cruiseOh you came to town in headlinesAnd eight hundred dollar shoesOh you came to town in headlinesAnd eight hundred dollar shoes
