Glass Slippers - halos

She’s wearing glass slippers tonight

One slid right off without a fight

My word is: I’ll track you down

I’m sure you’ll find me

But I can’t sit still

My gears are winding

I need to drink a beer and pop some pills

And lay on my bedroom floor

This feels like sailing in a storm

I can’t resist the swell is warm

With swiftness be sure you’ll drown

But if I know the sea

You’ll drift up by the beach

I’ll roll my slacks to the knee

And I’ll pry at that shell till I’m holding the pearl that you are

Just tell me where to sign

I need everyday to feel this fine

If everyday the sun would shine like this

(Oh yeah I heated up that propane as hot as she’d go

Then I closed that wicker gate and sweet Mary we rose too high)

If this beauty pushes on

Who’s the beast and who’s the fawn

Shall we dance until real life pulls

Us from this dreamer’s tale?

Or will fate and chance and faith prevail?

See I’m prepared for a cliff dive

We love and we live or we’ve died

They all saw the sparks go flying

The tinderbox and I collided

We conspired then and there, to blaze

The firestorm spread much quicker

On desert nights soaked in liquor

I’ll admit: I wasn’t quite prepared

That balloon took us so high

We floated through the bright black sky

And I don’t think we’ll ever come back down
