Tuxedo Shoes



Come here, Cupcake
Take it
Take it all
Don’t rewind
Just erase, because…
My feet don’t hurt anymore
In these tuxedo shoes
Walking downtown Long Beach
Late at night
Streets I use to call home
And would like to…
Just one more time
So here I am
Looking good for you
With a bottle of wine in hand
Smiling at strangers passing by
With a crown on my head
But they don’t know why or that
My heart cries the whole walk home
Because my reign is guised as
Red tears in a pretty bottle
Drink it all, drink to erase time
Ca-lick ca-lock ca-lick ca-lock
That’s the sound of my shoes at night
Ca-lick ca-lock ca-lick ca-lock ca-lick ca-lock
Those are my tuxedo shoes
Walking away from the hurt
They keep walking
Because the destination is near
