Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes Lyrics - The Union - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 headlines 

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 headlnes 

And eight hundred dollar shoes 

Oh you came to town in headlines 

And eight hundred dollar shoes
