"Red Shoes"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

This day
This war criminal is
This day is brutal, yeah
It wants red
So I got red shoes
'Cause red becomes you
This red becomes you
Eyes closed
You close them in the dark, huh?
What do you think you can't see?
What do you think you can't see?
What do you think you can't see?
You want red
So I got red shoes
'Cause red becomes you
This red becomes you
This dance
This war criminal is
This dance is brutal, huh?
It wants red
So I got red shoes
'Cause red becomes you
I become you

WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"I wrote this song staring into a huge mirror that my psychologist recommended I get. He said that whenever I began to "disappear" I should check the mirror to make sure I was still there and whenever I saw something in the room with me I should check the mirror to make sure it wasn't there. "What about vampires?" I asked. I do NOT recommend looking into giant mirrors, though I do like this song. I'm thinking it might actually be about shoes, but maybe not."

Don't worry, dance in the road.
