《The Red Shoes》歌词

[00:00:00] The Red Shoes - Stephin Merritt

[00:00:01] A bad young girl with hair white as milk

[00:00:09] Got witches' shoes which shone bright red

[00:00:18] And had been finely woven from the oldest silk

[00:00:25] With drops of blood to dye each thread

[00:00:34] She put them on when she began to dance

[00:00:42] She heard the witches play their strings

[00:00:50] Which have been finely tuned to dying elephants

[00:00:57] And to the shrieks of toppled kings

[00:01:06] She pirouetted and she grand jetéed

[00:01:10] Et cetera till she was out of breath

[00:01:23] And when the last note had finally played

[00:01:30] The bad young girl had danced herself to death
