Shiny Shoes

from Kamikaze by Grey Revell

/

lyrics

Shiny shoes is how the shit got started
I look at yours I say I want em on me
Ain't it funny how your world just gets harder
And certain boys they live in fine company

Twenty two your laces frayed you've been slipping
skip and sliding to the cold cold sea
Night dogs get hungry man their jaws get to dripping
And they hang them shiny shoes just out of your reach
You cried your blues under the cold car seats

It's them praying hands
Do it to you every time
No sooner said than taken back on the vision of a
crazy man, who never sees the hidden signs
Under the dirty dishes

God know there's times when you been too slow to stop it
That tongue comes out of every mouth I see
My shoes are stinking from the skulls in your closet
I coulda sworn I saw one winking at me

Can you name the man
his shiny little dirty mind
round here the soul gets torn it's made outta nothin
I'm a lazy man I never see the hidden sign
don't wanna hurt no one it's just seems to happen
can you save me then?
These shoes are getting dirty in these fading hands
So show me yours I'll show you mine

Shiny shoes is how the shit or started
but your come and going makes no difference to me
I'll be round to see that you've departed
With your Shiny Shoes over your cold cold feet..
