I go to the corner where it all goes down

And i do things i'll regret but not right now

They say "angel, you been here before"

Yeah, i had my boots to carry me



Just like pandora with her box

I let everything out and spin around

And when they come to me, it's like a river to cross

But i have my boots to ferry me



And i remember how it feels

I always stop and remember but i do it again

And i jump up and slap my heels

Cause i have my boots on

I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face

I'd like to see my face on a magazine

The things i want, the life i need

My boots keep me between



I passed out on a subway train

And a woman she came and took my hand

But i'm alright i'm okay i can fall like rain

Long as i have my boots to help me stand



And the streets they empty hour by hour

Til they were finally drained and i was all alone

And just like pandora, i was sorry now

But i had my boots to carry me home



The sky is wild and full of holes

The wind is wild and it's full of coughs

Sometimes i think i'd float away

If i took my boots off

I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face

I'd like to see my face on a magazine

The things i want, the life i need

My boots keep me between
