I need new shoes
New shoes to bend
Break and mend
Force the world beneath my heel
To feel the way I feel
I need new shoes
My favorite color
Color blue
I need new shoes to do the things
That I could never do
Chorus:
Shoes to sink below the grimy crust
And rest my breath
Till the pebbles on the bottom
Bubble to the top
And forget we're all alone, we're all alone
I need new shoes
New shoes to wear
While I'm alive
And a pair that's plain and fair
That I can wear when I die
I need new shoes
New shoes to blame
When I'm in pain
Shoes that help to keep my safe
When I run out in the rain
Chorus
