Yellow Shoes

There she stood with her yellow shoes wearing gloves the street dog had brought her. That she was all alone there on broad daylight made me think she would want some water. So I came to her, said “Honey, do you want a drink?” but she just laughed at me, said “Darling, I’m no kid. So would you please bring me my water, please, please bring me my water.” And it’s all because she’s high and never really sober, not even when she’s drinking water. And it’s all because she’s such a dreamer. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. She says. “Didn’t you know that in order to win, you should have done everything wrong? In order to win you should have done everything wrong?” Everything wrong!

Later when I talked to her she told me I was crazy, simply because I told her tomatoes grow every single day. And I came to her, said “Honey, do you want a drink?” but she just laughed at me, said “Darling, I’m no kid. So would you please bring me my water? Please, please bring me my water.” And it’s all because she’s high and dreaming ‘bout tomatoes that only grow on Sunday evening. And it’s all because she’s such a dreamer. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. She says. “Didn’t you know that in order to win you should have done everything wrong? In order to win you should have done everything wrong.” Everything wrong!

When she got home on Friday night it was early Monday morning and she fed the dog who had brought her gloves and told him to stop complaining. But the dog hadn’t eaten for three days on and was angry at the woman. And she asked him how much more she should do wrong before he’d finally become a man. When I came to her, said “Honey, do you want a drink?” she just laugh at me, said “Darling I’m no kid. So would you please bring me my water, would you please, please bring me my water.” And it’s all because the dog’s not gonna be a man and she’ll always just have to feed him. And it’s all because she’s such a dreamer. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. She says: “Didn’t you know that in order to win, I have to do everything wrong? In order to win, I have to do everything wrong.” Everything wrong!
