Shoedance (The Red Shoes Dance Mix)
[Intro: Kate Bush & Lindsay Kemp]
Dancing
"She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know"
[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
Oh, she move like the Diva do
I said, "I'd love to dance like you"
She said, "Just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true
[Pre-Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
"With no words, with no song
You can dance the dream with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
"Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to you
[Post-Chorus: Kate Bush]
"Really happening to you
Really happening to you"
[Interlude: Lindsay Kemp]
"She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know"
[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
Oh, the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes, they can't stop
Dancing
[Pre-Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
"And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path"
[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
"It's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh, it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to you"
[Post-Chorus: Kate Bush]
"Really happening to you
Really happening to you"
[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
[Interlude: Lindsay Kemp]
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
She tricked you, you know
It's really happening to you
[Bridge: Kate Bush & Miranda Richardson]
"Where am I?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm not supposed to be here. I don't understand why his has happened"
"What the hell is going on? Look, who are you?"
"Oh, please... you must help me"
"What've you done to yourself?"
"It was an accident... a big fire... I looked down and my hands were all burnt and blistered. There was so much smoke I couldn't breath and... I was trying to find my way out! Please, you must help me!"
"How can I help you?"
"I can't use my hands... I can't use my hands, I have to get back"
"Back?"
"Home. There's only one way left for me to return and it lies in your hands now"
"Don't worry, we'll get you home"
"You need... 3 pieces of paper"
"There's some on the piano... will this do?"
"Yes. You draw a line on the first piece?"
"Like this?"
"Yes... a cross. Yes, good. A curve."
"Here"
"Thank you. Thank you. Is there something I can give you in return? My shoes, perhaps? My pretty red shoes. Take them, they're yours. As a give for your kindness."
Really happening to you
[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Call a doctor, call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter
