elvis costello - (angels wanna wear my) red shoes lyrics

[chorus]
oh i used to be disgusted
and now i try to be amused
but since their wings have got rusted
you know, the angels want to wear my red shoes
but when they told me about their side of the bargain
that’s when i knew that i could not refuse
and i won’t get any older
now the angels want to wear my red shoes

[verse]
i was watching while you’re dancing away
our love got fractured in the echo and sway
how come everybody wants to be your friend?
you know that it still hurts me just to say it
oh, i know that she’s disgusted (oh why’s that)
because she’s feeling so abused (oh that’s too bad)
she gets tired of the l-st (oh i’m so sad)
but it’s so hard to refuse
how can you say that i’m too old
when the angels have stolen my red shoes
oh, i said “i’m so happy, i could die”
she said “drop dead,” then left with another guy
that’s what you get if you go chasing after vengeance
ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence

[chorus]

[outro]
and i won’t get any older
now the angels want to wear my red shoes
red shoes, the angels want to wear my red shoes[repeat until fade]
