Intro           Esus4 Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted you know the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me ’bout their side of the bargain that’s when I knew that I could not refuse. And I won’t get any older now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.     I was watching while you’re dancing away. Our love got fractured in the echo and sway. How come everybody wants to be your friend? You know that it still hurts me just to say it. Oh I know that she’s disgusted (oh why’s that) Cause she’s feeling so abused. (oh that’s too bad) She gets tired of the lust (oh I’m so sad) but it’s so hard to refuse. How can you say that I’m too old when the angels have stolen my red shoes.          Oh I said "I’m so happy I could die." She said "Drop dead" then left with another guy. That’s what you get if you go chasing after vengeance. Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence. *same as first four lines in first stanza and repeat on the chords for extra lines* Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted you know the angels wanna wear my red shoes. Red shoes the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion et de tristesse face aux relations amoureuses. Le narrateur, qui a été déçu dans le passé, essaie de trouver de l'humour dans sa situation, tout en se rendant compte que des anges, symboles d'idéal et d'espoir, souhaitent s'approprier sa joie, représentée par ses souliers rouges. Alors qu'il observe une danse, il se sent blessé par son histoire passée et par le fait que d'autres semblent s'intéresser à son ancienne compagne. Ce contraste entre le désir de légèreté et la douleur persistante est au cœur de ses réflexions. L'ambiance de la chanson utilise une ironie parfois amère, soulignant la complexité des relations humaines et la difficulté de se libérer des blessures du passé. Le narrateur comprend que le temps ne le délivre pas de son chagrin, bien que les anges semblent ignorer son chagrin en le provoquant.
