Lyrics

[01:30.80] If you see something that looks like a star
[01:35.37] And it's shooting up out of the ground
[01:39.97] And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
[01:48.93] And you just can't escape from the sound
[01:53.99] Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
[01:58.97] We were children once, playing with toys
[02:07.46] And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
[02:11.61] Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[02:27.61] The percentage you're paying is too high priced
[02:32.03] While you're living beyond all your means
[02:36.44] And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
[02:40.76] From the profit he's made on your dreams
[02:45.29] But today you just read that the man was shot dead
[02:49.31] By a gun that didn't make any noise
[02:54.06] But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
[02:58.44] The low spark of high-heeled boys
[03:50.26] If you had just a minute to breathe
[03:54.54] And they granted you one final wish
[03:59.21] Would you ask for something like another chance?
[04:08.79] Or something similar as this?
[04:13.44] Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
[04:19.25] As sure as your sorrows are joys
[04:26.80] And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
[04:31.16] Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
[04:46.97] The percentage you're paying is too high priced
[04:51.29] While you're living beyond all your means
[04:55.75] And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
[05:00.04] From the profit he's made on your dreams
[05:04.50] But today you just read that the man was shot dead
[05:08.83] By a gun that didn't make any noise
[05:13.18] But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
[05:17.75] The low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys
[09:42.95] If I gave you everything that
[09:45.29] I ownedAnd asked for nothing in return
[09:52.09] Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
[10:01.37] Or take me for a ride
[10:06.05] And strip me of everything including my pride
[10:11.14] But spirit is something that no one destroys
[10:19.11] And the sound that
[10:20.54] I'm hearing is only the sound
[10:23.50] Of the low spark of high-heeled boys, heeled boys
