I´m stoned in the twilight
Screaming on the inside
Give me your water, help me survive

Gonna miss the sunlight
When I lose my eyesight

Give me my red shoes, I want to dance
They search for an answer
But that old man wouldn´t listen
Back then I was handsome
Back then he was ignorant

And shave off the years now, it´s all inside my head
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer
Take my red shoes, I can´t wear them anymore

Had garlands in the wings back then
All the pretty little things back then
Calling out my name, oh what fame brings

After curtain calls and bows
I can´t see the front row now
Hand me my red shoes just one more time

They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund
Back then he wouldn´t listen
