The Red Shoes - Stephin Merritt[00:00:00]
A bad young girl with hair white as milk[00:00:01]
Got witches' shoes which shone bright red[00:00:09]
And had been finely woven from the oldest silk[00:00:18]
With drops of blood to dye each thread[00:00:25]
She put them on when she began to dance[00:00:34]
She heard the witches play their strings[00:00:42]
Which have been finely tuned to dying elephants[00:00:50]
And to the shrieks of toppled kings[00:00:57]
She pirouetted and she grand jetéed[00:01:06]
Et cetera till she was out of breath[00:01:10]
And when the last note had finally played[00:01:23]
The bad young girl had danced herself to death[00:01:30]
