Shoes

My brother's obsessed
with his lightweight shoes

    big man blues
    heavy-weight shoes
    he's never going to heaven
    with his heavy-weight shoes

He's big and he's blonde
and far too heavy

    big bone blues
dead-weight boots
dragged down deep
with his dead-weight boots

But he wants to dance
with the girl of his dreams

    high cost blues
    get them shoes
he's goin go dancing
in his lightweight shoes

Watch him float, watch him drift
in a starlit ballroom

    dancing blues
shuffle feet shoes
he's goin go to heaven
with a girl and his shoes

He's light on his feet
with his girl in his arms

Starman blues
love them shoes
in the arms of his girl
and his lightweight shoes

They seal it then
with a moonlight kiss

Heavenly blues
star-kissed shoes
up in the clouds
with his girl and his shoes

And he takes her home
for a life ever after

    carman blues
drive those shoes
a home in the world
for my brother and his shoes
