The Red Shoes lyrics
by Kate Bush



Oh she move like the Diva do

I said "I'd love to dance like you"

She said "Just take off my red shoes

Put them on and your dream will come true"



With no words

With no song

You can dance the dream

With your body on



And this curve is your smile

And this cross is your heart

And this line is your path



Oh, it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

Oh, it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening to 'ya

Really happening to 'ya

Really happening to 'ya



Oh the minute I put them on

I knew I had done something wrong

All her gifts for the dance had gone

These red shoes, they can't stop dancing

Dancing



And this curve is your smile

And this cross is your heart

And this line is your path



Oh, it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

Oh, it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening to 'ya



She gotta dance

She gotta dance

And she can't stop 'till the shoes come off

The shoes do

A kinda voodoo

We're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

Yeah



Feel your hair come tumbling down

Feel your feet start kissing the ground

Feel your arms are opening out

And see your eyes are lifting to God



With no words

With no song

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true



She gotta dance

She gotta dance

And she can't stop 'till the shoes come off

The shoes do

A kinda voodoo

We're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

Call a doctor

Call a priest

We're gonna whip her up like a helicopter



Really happening to ya

Really happening to ya



You gotta dance

You gotta dance

You gotta dance

Yeah...
