leon russell - eight hundred dollar shoes lyrics
you had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
the winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
if it was love and i was there i’ve forgotten where it lives
we both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
you came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
reaping the rewards of the fable you’d been sowing
i saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
like caesar crossed the rubicon you seemed to walk on air
yea i’ve seen your movie
and i read it in your book
the truth just flew off every page
your songs have all the hooks
you’re seven wonders rolled in one
you shifted gear to cruise
oh you came to town in headlines
and eight hundred dollar shoes
oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
your cloak and dagger legacy’s gone home to no man’s land
the marquee lights are flickering your poster’s fading fast
your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a gl-ss
yea i’ve seen your movie
and i read it in your book
the truth just flew off every page
your songs have all the hooks
you’re seven wonders rolled in one
you shifted gear to cruise
oh you came to town in headlines
and eight hundred dollar shoes
oh you came to town in headlines
and eight hundred dollar shoes
