The Red Shoes She move like the Diva do I said "I'd love to dance like you." She said "just take off my red shoes Put them on and your dream'll come true With no words, with no song You can dance a dream with your body on And this curve is your smile And this cross is your heart And this line is your path "whoo whoo" It's gonna be the way you always thought it would be But it's gonna be no illusion It's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it But it's gonna be really happening Really happening to ya Really happening to ya" The minute I put them on I knew I had done something wrong All her gifts for the dance had gone The red shoes, they can't stop "dancing" It can't stop It can't stop It can't stop It can't stop "whoo whoo" "It's gonna be the way you always thought it would be But it's gonna be no illusion It's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it But it's gonna be really happening" She gotta dance, she gotta dance And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off The shoes do, a kind of voodoo They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off Feel your hair come tumbling down Feel your feet start kissing the ground Feel your arms are opening out And see your eyes are lifted to God I'm gonna dance the dream And make the dream come true I'm gonna dance the dream And make the dream come true She gotta dance, she gotta dance Yeah And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off And the shoes do, a kind of voodoo They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off Call a doctor, call a priest They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter Really happening to ya Really happening to ya And with the shoes You gotta daaaance You gotta daaaance You gotta daaaance You gotta dance You gotta dance You gotta dance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright Kate Bush Music Ltd.
