Song Description

You can always walk away.

Lyrics

Nice Shoes
I waive my closing argument, no need to state my case
The deck is stacked perspective has been lost
You sit there like a monument with your poker face
I can see now win or lose that I?ve lost

Secrets told in confidence, introduced as evidence
A laundry list of intimate half truths
You?ve lost my lease you?ve raised my rent
Familiarity breeds contempt
From contempt came little left to choose

My turn to speak I just hang my head
Not a sound just hang my head down
Don?t know where I?m going, don?t know what to say
So I hang my head and have a look around

Nice shoes, nice shine
There?s a Roosevelt dime
Looks like this might be my lucky day
Nice shoes, nice shine
Saved in the nick of time
I?m simply going to let the music play
As I walk away

Too much of what I am you could never understand
Too much of what I need I see now you just could never be
Too much my heart and soul I gave to you to have and hold
Too much too late to see too much of you don?t work with me

Your turn to speak and I hang my head
and listen to all I didn?t do
You hit everything to a lousy lay, I disagree but that?s OK
One thing you must admit is true
Nice shoes, nice shine...

You can tell your friends anything you like
Fabricate or flat out lie
I don?t mind as long as you include
Nice shoes, nice shine
In lieu of another rhyme
I?m simply going to let the music play
As I walk away
