Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes

You had your grand illusion
 And wrestled with your fate
 The winter of your discontent
 Came twenty years too late
 If it was love, and I was there
 I've forgotten where it lives
 We both stepped off a frozen rock
 Onto a burning bridge
 You came like an invasion
 All bells and whistles blowing
 Reaping the rewards
 Of the fable you'd been sowing
 I saw you cross the landing
 Descending marble stairs
 Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon
 You seemed to walk on air
 And yeah I've seen your movie
 And I read it in your book
 The truth just flew off every page
 Your songs have all the hooks
 You're seven wonders rolled in one
 You've shifted gears to cruise
 Oh you came to town in headlines
 And eight hundred dollar shoes
 Oh the bellboys are crying
 And monies changing hands
 Your cloak and dagger legacies
 Gone home to No Man's Land
 The marquee lights are flickering
 Your posters fading fast
 Your being here just melts away
 Like ice cubes in a glass
 And yeah I've seen your movie
 And I read it in your book
 The truth just flew off every page
 Your songs have all the hooks
 You're seven wonders rolled in one
 You've shifted gears to cruise
 Oh you came to town in headlnes
 And eight hundred dollar shoes
 Oh you came to town in headlines
 And eight hundred dollar shoes
