Ever seen a pair of shoes hanging from a power line? Ever wonder how or why it happened? Well, this song tackles these important questions... from the shoes perspective, of course.
shoesI got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
and I haven't been down since
I got up in the afternoon
strung out on the telephone line
strung out on the telephone line
strung out on the telephone line
and now I am a leg behind
strung out on the telephone line
ends have all got tied together
ends have all got tied together
ends have all got tied together
bottoms rubber but the sides are leather
ends have all got tied together
empty is a fine thing for a while its not a bad thing
I've been thinking of the times I've wasted recollecting
I've been walked on the last time and I think I'm gonna miss it
never has the sound of cars and trucks and things kept shaking me both in between
and just before and after still in the middle of the night until it happened
I got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
and I haven't been down since
I got up in the afternoon
I think it happened yesterday
I think it happened yesterday
I think it happened yesterday
unless it isn't yet today
I think it happened yesterday
it was such a fun time for a while it was enjoyable
up and down and round and round like the incredible vertical toilet
and I've been chewed up by your dog and you didn't try positive reinforcement
never has my sole been so exposed to all my neighbors, friends, the mail man,
the paperboy, the Fed Ex girl, the school bus full of screaming kids and Brown until it happened.
I got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
I got up in the afternoon
and I haven't been down since
I got up in the afternoon
