Traffic › Lyrics › The 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 swear 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 and joys

And the thing that disturbs you 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 swear 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 own
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
