Expensive Shoes

So thank you for the lawn and the tea cups,

the tutus and the crown that I´ve still got.

Now I shine like a new silver spoon

and keep quiet as I´m supposed to do.

So thank you for the ring and the tulips,

though I guess I was too young to refuse it.

But it´s sunday, I don´t need an excuse,

I´m a shade in pretty expensive shoes.

Yes, that twisted melody,

spinning in my head like a ferry´s wheel.

No, I wouldn´t be so sad

if I could be, if I could be alone for a while.

So thank you for the price on my raincoat

and that hook that looks so nice round my pale throat.

I´m a big girl paying all my dues,

pretty girl in pretty expensive shoes,

pretty expensive shoes ...
