The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys — текст песни (Rickie Lee Jones)

(Winwood/Capaldi)

If you see something that looks like a star
Shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you can`t escape from the sound
Don`t worry too much, 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
High-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this?
Don`t worry too much
It`ll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys

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
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn`t make any noise
And it wasn`t the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys
High-heeled boys, high-heeled boys
High-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I do for you?
Or take me for a ride
Strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something no one destroys
And the sound that I`m hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys
High-heeled boys, high-heeled boys
High-heeled boys, high-heeled boys
