Kate Bush Track - The Red Shoes

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
