"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"

If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just 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

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of 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 percent that you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high heeled boys
High heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything including my pride

But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high heeled boys
Heeled boys

...

I read "low spark of high heeled boys" as "the dance of life", more or less.

But what do I know.

Dude, you need a little AFI.

"Ever and a Day".

lie in the comfort of sweet calamity
with nothing left to lose.
lie in the darkness, i'm slowly drowned to sleep
with nothing left to lose.
three tears i've saved for you.

i'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives
behind me.
so i lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
three tears i've saved for you.

will you be my, be my beloved?
will you help, help me to get through?
will you be my, be my destruction?
will you help, help me to be through?

will you be my, be my beloved?
will you help, help me to get through?
will you be my, be my destruction?
will you help,
three tears I've saved for you
