[Verse 1]
I was feeling raped by my desire to give
So much that I had to lose
But giving isn't something you can choose
When time lies bare

[Chorus]
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved

[Verse 2]
I hear you fell off your shoes
Running into town there was so much you had to do
In a crowded station too
Crying on your knees

[Chorus]
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved

[Bridge]
Running, running, running into that blue
Dancing, dancing, dancing the party through
It's a party for our demise
[Chorus]
Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate while our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
And trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we loved

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, we could melt them down for glue
Those horses that once carried our dreamings in that same old blue

[Instrumental Outro]
