My Aim Is True

Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes


But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes


Oh, I was watching while you're dancing away
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
You know that it still hurts me just to say it


Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh, why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused (oh, that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust (oh, I'm so sad)
But it's so hard to refuse


How can you say that I'm too old
When the angels have stolen my red shoes


Oh, I said I'm so happy, I could die
She said drop dead, then left with another guy
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance
Ever since you got me punctured
This has been my sentence


Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes


But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes


Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes....
