Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Rickie Lee Jones

If you see something that looks like a star

Shooting up out of the ground

And your head is spinning from a loud guitar

And you can't escape from the sound

Don't worry too much it'll happen to you

We were children once playing with toys

And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound

Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

High-heeled boys high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe

And they granted you one final wish

Would you ask for something like another chance

Or something similar as this

Don't worry too much

It'll happen to you

As sure as your sorrows are joys

And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of

The low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you're paying is too high priced

Living beyond all your means

The man in the suit has just bought a new car

From the profit he's made on your dreams

Today you just read that the man was shot dead

Gun that didn't make any noise

And it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was

The low spark of high-heeled boys

High-heeled boys high-heeled boys

High-heeled boys high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I have

And I asked for nothing in return

Would you do the same for me as I do for you

Or take me for a ride

Strip me of everything including my pride

But spirit is something no one destroys

And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound

The low spark of high-heeled boys

High-heeled boys high-heeled boys

High-heeled boys high-heeled boys

Boys
