I need new shoes
New shoes to bend
Break and mend
Force the world beneath my heel
To feel the way I feel
I need new shoes
My favorite color
Color blue
I need new shoes to do the things
That I could never do
Shoes to sink below the grimy crust
And rest my breath
Till the pebbles on the bottom
Bubble to the top
And forget we're all alone, we're all alone
I need new shoes
New shoes to wear
While I'm alive
And a pair that's plain and fair
That I can wear when I die
I need new shoes
New shoes to blame
When I'm in pain
Shoes that help to keep my safe
When I run out in the rain
