RED SHOES

Liz is shopping for some red shoes
something new and something bright.
She says she feels a bit upside down right now
she feels a bit uptight
she says “It’s hard when you’re pent-up to just let go,
and when you do let go, it’s hard to stop. 
You’ve got to find a balance between the two.
That’s what I’m looking for in my new red shoes.
That’s what I’m looking for, something completely new.”

She says it’s not all fun and games in this world of mine
I’m an iceberg breaking off one piece at a time
but it’s really not that bad when I start to shine
and I’m amazed at what a little color can do.

Well them blue suedes have stayed on a bit too long
it’s time to wake up the night and shake hands with the dawn
she is tired of lacing up just to be brought down
so she’s looking for her answers down in old Georgetown
she’ll spend some green green dollars on something to make her shine
she’ll pick the light up from the ground up
from her feet to her mind

She says it’s not all fun and games in this world of mine
I’m an iceberg breaking off one piece at a time
but it’s really not that bad when I start to shine
and I’m amazed at what a little color can do.

But if you see her floating down M street don’t you bring her down
you won’t miss those new shoes
sticking out amongst the black and the brown ones on the ground
they’ll be the brightest ones around.
She’ll be the brightest one around.

She says it’s not all fun and games in this world of mine
I’m an iceberg breaking off one piece at a time
but it’s really not that bad when I start to shine
and I’m amazed at what a little color can do.
You’d be amazed at what a little color can do.
