lyrics

The Heels

Mira was always well heeled she had platforms for a shield
She could kick them very high but she was never really real
She’d sit around the house for hours and hours on end
With the vultures and the men
But she’d kick them out of bed when they got past being friends

Now she hurries home the park the dark the rain
She does it every night now she’s doing it again
Never has any trouble but tonight’s not quite the same
Underneath the light a man standing looking strange

Mira was always well braced she had pancake for a face
Couldn’t look her in the eye without feeling chased
I wonder how she feels with her diamonds and her deals
Now she’s caught beneath the wheels in the cut that never heals
Under someone else’s heels

Now she hurries home battered thighs and battered hips
Now she’s all alone her dress is all in rips
The rain’s still coming down but now it only drips
Underneath the light a man standing taking sips
