Elvis Costello & The Attractions - (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes lyrics

Oh, I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused But since their wings have got rusted You know, the angels want to 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 want to 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 Oh, I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused But since their wings have got rusted You know, the angels want to 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 want to wear my red shoes Oh, I won't get any older, now the angels want to wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes...
