Tom Waits - Red Shoes By The Drugstore songtekst
Je score:
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 blue jay in a red dress on a sad night One straw in a root beer A compact with a cracked mirror and a bottle of evening in Paris perfume What's this sad tune? He told her to wait in by the magazines Take care of 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 Cesaer got caught He's going on down to second He was cooled Changing stations on the chamber to steal a diamond ring from a jewellery store for his baby He loved the way she looked in those red shoes She waited by the drugstore Cesaer never been this late before The dogs bayed the moon and rattled their chains And the cold jingle of taps in a puddle was the burglar alarm snitchin' on Cesaer Now the rain washes memories from the sidewalks The hounds splash the nickel full of soldiers Santa Claus is drunk in the ski room It's Christmas eve in a sad café when the moon gets this way There's a little blue jay by the newsstand wearing red shoes, wearing red shoes So meet me tonight by the drugstore, meet me tonight by the drugstore, meet me tonight by the drugstore We're goin' out tonight, we're goin' out tonight, we're goin' out tonight Wear your red shoes, red shoes; wear your red shoes, red shoes, red shoes
