Red Shoes by the Drugstore

歌詞

She wore red shoes by the newsstand As the rain splashed the nickel And spilled like Chablis all along the midway There's a little bluejay In a red dress on a sad night One straw in a root beer A compact with a cracked mirror A bottle of evening in paris perfume What's this sad tune? He told her to wait by the magazines He Had to take care of some business it seems Bring a raincoat Bring a suitcase Bring your dark eyes And wear those red shoes There's a dark huddle at the bus stop Umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet Li'l Caesar got caught He was going down to second He was cooled Changing stations on the chamber To steal a diamond ring From a jewelry store for his baby He loved the way she looked in those red shoes She waited by the drugstore Caesar had never been this late before And the dogs bayed the moon And rattled their chains And the cold jingle of taps in a puddle Was the burglar alarm snitchin' on Caesar Now the rain washes memories from the sidewalks And the hounds splash down the nickel full of soldiers And Santa Claus is drunk In the ski room And it's Christmas Eve In a sad café When the moon gets it's way There's a little blue jay by the news-stand In red shoes Wearing red shoes Meet me tonight by the drugstore Meet me tonight by the drugstore Meet me tonight by the drugstore Goin' out tonight Goin' out tonight Goin' out tonight Wear your red shoes Red shoes Wear your red shoes Red shoes Your red shoes
