Tom Waits
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She wore red shoes by the news-stand
2
As the rain splashed the nickel
3
Spilled like chablis along the midway
4
There's a little blue jay
5
In a red dress, on a sad night
6
One straw in a root-beer
7
A compact with a cracked mirror
8
And a bottle of Evening in Paris perfume, was this sad tune
9
Told her to wait in by the magazines
10
Take care of some business it seems
11
Bring a raincoat, bring a suitcase
12
And bring your dark eyes and wear those red shoes
13
There's a dark huddle at the bus stop
14
Umbrellas arranged in a sad bouquet
15
Lil' Ceaser got caught, he was going down to second
16
He was cooled, changing stations on the chamber
17
To steal a diamond ring from a jewelry store for his baby
18
He loved the way she looked in those red shoes
19
She waited by the drugstore
20
Ceaser had never been this late before
21
And the dogs bayed the moon
22
And rattled their chains
23
And the cold jingle of taps in a puddle
24
Was the burglar alarm snitchin' on Ceaser
25
Now the rain washes memories from the sidewalks
26
And the hounds splash down the nickel full of soldiers
27
Santa Claus is drunk in the ski room
28
Christmas eve in a sad cafe when the moon gets this way
29
There's a little blue jay by the new-stand
30
Red shoes, red shoes
31
So meet me tonight by the drugstore
32
Meet me tonight by the drugstore
33
Meet me tonight by the drugstore
34
Goin' out tonight, we're goin' out tonight
35
Goin' out tonight, wear your red shoes
36
Red shoes, wear your red shoes
37
Red shoes, red shoes
