"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."
