Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
[Verse 2]
Don't worry, it's alright, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Verse 3]
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
[Verse 4]
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark from high-heeled boys
[Verse 5]
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Verse 6]
If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you do the same for me
As I would for you?
[Verse 7]
Or take me for a ride and strip me of everything, including my pride?
The spirit is something that they can't destroy
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[Verse 8]
Heeled boys
High-heeled boys
High-heeled boys
Heeled boys
