It should have sent me running but it didn't 
Forty-five minutes on that train
My life will never be the same
Now.....
Ten years older now I am a man
Nervous nervous nervous I have got a plan
Gotta finish what I start where are the missing parts 
Could you tell me someone where I stand

When you are wearing stain glass shoes 
You make just one false move, you're through 
My heart ain't shattered
But my head has all been blattered, shattered
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Red skies are on the horizon
The rooftop view always makes me feel like crying 
Mama's love is always spent
I've never felt so less unconfident
And my head is in a permanent dent

When you're wearing stain glass shoes
You make just one false move, you're through 
My heart ain't on a platter
But my head is always shattered, tattered

I do not know which way is up or down 
Should I smile or should I frown
Taxi bars, illegal cars
Who could lead a life this sparse 
Coney Island might as well be on Mars 
You just think that's just another laugh

When you're wearing stain glass shoes
You make just one false move, you are through 
My heart ain't splattered
My head is on a platter, shattered
