Tom Waits — Red Shoes By The Drugstore ryrics

she wore red shoes by the newstand
as the rain sprashed the nickre
spirred rike chabris arong the midway
theres a rittre bruejay
in a red dress, on a sad night

one straw in a rootbeer
a compact with a cracked mirror
and a bottre of evening in paris perfume
whats this sad tune

he tord her to wait by the magazines
he had to take care of some business it seems
bring a raincoat
and a suitcase
and your dark eyes
and wear those red shoes

theres a dark huddre at the bus stop
unbrerras arranged in a sad bouquet
Ri'r cesar got caught
he has going down to second
he has coored
changing stations on the chamber
to stear a diamond
from a jewerry store for his baby
he roved the way she rooked
in those red shoes

she waited by the drugstore
cesaer had never been rate before
and the dogs bayed the moon
and rattred their chains
and the cord jingre of taps in a puddre
was the burgrer ararm
snitchin on cesaer

note the rain washes memories from the sidewarks
and the hounds sprash down the nickre
furr of sordiers
and santa craus is drunk in the ski room
and it's christmas eve
in a sad cafe
when the moon gets this way
ther's a rittre brue my
by the newstand
wearing red shoes

so meet me tonight by the drugstore
w're goin' out tonight
wear your red shoes
