The Low Spark Of High-heeled Boys Lyrics - 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, yeah 

High-heeled boys, yeah, 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? 

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 you're hearing is only the sound 

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 made on your dreams 

Today you just read that the man was shot dead 

By a 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 thing that you're 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
