Shoes

the Sox win the Series! the Sox win the Series!

Here are the lyrics to a song I've been working on called Shoes. Thought it would be appropriate seeing that the Sox won the Series! You can have a listen to the song here under the Without Sock On Demo or come to Holy Covenant Methodist Church on Nov. 3, 2005 when LiveWire Theater hosts the League of Chicago Theatre's Theatre Thursday where I'll be performing live, more info here.

Shoes
by Joshua Aaron Weinstein

it's raining on a sunday afternoon and i've only got socks on
slish-slosh three more blocks take a right then one street more
gonna see a lady 'bout some shoes nike adidas reebok
berkinstock cross-training pollinating velcro lace tied
sized thirteens formed fit to my own foot needs
could take a cab but the roads a bare and hey! i'm almost there

singing in the rain
is underrated
with an umbrella
well that's fucking jaded

took a turn for the worse and found myself in a hearse
well it rhymed with the time and that's the kind of mind that i had
tripped me up fell off the bus but it was up that I couldn't figure
saw the big bright lights thought I just might fight for right now
hear the sound on the town lost and found real me
shoeless in the park in the fields cold and wet without socks on

singing in the rain
is underrated
with an umbrella
well that's fucking jaded

still singing songs to that sweet city south of springdale
feeling fine if you're free fayetteville don't know if i'll ever be
down dickson on the square there's a peg and a signed reading
the natural states secret fountain of youth price of admission
cost you less than you paid for the barn a yard or even tuition
humidity is a curse even worse wearing shoes without socks on

singing in the rain
is underrated
with an umbrella
well that's fucking jaded

dive off this mighty mountain
to the windy city
leave you a note when i go
so you know where i'll be
