Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes

Interprete: Elton John
Disco: The union

Letra de la canción:

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 Helas!(?)

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 Helas!(?)

And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh you came to town in Helas!(?)

And eight hundred dollar shoes

The union
