Flaming Red

Patty Griffin · Flaming Red [1997]

I took a walk around the block

I bought a candle it was

Flaming red, flaming red

I thought a thought

Then I, I forgot

So I sang a happy song

Up in my head, in my head



I wore my red shoes

Wore my red shoes again

They're getting worn out

From all of the wandering

Worn out and holey

Holy as Jesus

Me and my red shoes

Nothing can please us



Stupid girl, she was dressed like

She deserved everything that she got

Bloody pumps

Dead girl

Hey, world

Thanks a lot, thanks a lot



I wore my red shoes

Wore my red shoes again

They're getting worn out from

All of the wandering

Worn out and holey

Holy as Jesus

Me and my red shoes

Nothing can, nothing can please us



Flaming red (x8)



Walkin' in my red shoes and I

Get so worn out and I''m

Walkin' in my red shoes and my

Soles are torn out

Walkin' in my red shoes and I'm

Holy as Jesus and I'm

Walkin' in my red shoes and

Nothing can, nothing can please us



Flaming red (x12)
