TOO TIGHT SHOES
Copyright 2002 Michael E. Walker

Verse 1

Our feet are bruised from wearing
too tight shoes
we hide the place where
you and I are one.
Label me, and I can label you
a constant showdown
a pair of smoking guns.

Chorus 1

The verdict’s in
the evidence is thin
our little shoes, out nervous glancing
The price for fitting in
is growing thicker skin
These too tight shoes
keep us from dancing.

Verse 2

The judge don’t sleep
a stalker set to leap
before you speak
he’s got you figured out.
Justice ain’t blind
we’re guilty every time
our innocence
from birth will fade away.

Chorus 2

The verdicts in
the evidence is thin
our little shoes, our nervous glancing.
The price for fitting in
is growing thicker skin.
These too tight shoes
keep us from dancing.

Verse 3 (instr)

Final Chorus (repeat 1)

Coda

Too tight shoes aren’t made for dancing.
