LYRICS:
I was far from the border, lost in you
I did what I could, did what I had to do
Now I walk these fields in skies of jealous blue
And I do what I can
In these hundred dollar shoes
I wrestled the angel, came up short
I was tortured by the ghost who told me what to want
I felt desire crawl right up to my side
But I knew I couldn’t lose
In those hundred dollar shoes
There’s nothing to see on the street
Except the rest of humanity dying in the heat
Wild and unavailable in the star torn night
Too far from anywhere, out on the other side
But I just can’t lose in these hundred dollar shoes
There’s an unspoken rhythm in the day born long
Living on the outskirts, almost gone
Sometimes I feel like yesterday is a dream of sleep
And I don’t know what to do
With those hundred dollar shoes
I carried the burden, left it at the river
Some nights were made to make you shiver
The corridors are dark and I don’t know how to pray
Soon I’m gonna be on my way
As if I could really choose
In these hundred dollar shoes
There ain’t no bridge here anymore
Not since the river had to flood
Angels, demons, sinners, saints
Say they had to pay in blood
But how they could refuse
These hundred dollar shoes
Like a blind man feels it slip away
In a forbidden kiss in a night grown grey
It was one too many, but it wasn’t quite enough
And I’m not gonna lose
In these hundred dollar shoes
You say there’s nothing left in this broken town
All the Neon lights have flown South
Jesus had to get through the devil’s forty nights
He did what he had to do to survive
And I’ve been loving you baby
I don’t know what to do
In these hundred dollar shoes
Maybe we could kick the blues
In these hundred dollar shoes
