My feet are pink And when it's cold outside they shrink But they also sometimes stink And when the tide comes in they sink I run with them and hike with them And when they're stubborn fight with them They carry me away to tread in ancient soil That feeds on death; Those feet that point straight up to the sky From behind their eyelids they cry dry For those heels and toes and soles had souls That came and went now have to lie So I don't know why I can't sit still And I can't tell you why I sometimes walk in heels that I can't run in Make me feel free Because I'm so afraid you'll bury me Who to talk to where to turn What path to take What bridge to burn Red light yellow light green light What lesson did I just learn? Maybe stay planted and one day you'll feed the plants. Or run and run and run and run and run and run and feed the plants.

My Feet
My feet are pink And when it's cold outside they shrink But they also sometimes stink And when the tide comes in they sink I run with them and hike with them And when they're stubborn fight with them They carry me away to tread in ancient soil That feeds on death; Those feet that point straight up to the sky From behind their eyelids they cry dry For those heels and toes and soles had souls That came and went now have to lie So I don't know why I can't sit still And I can't tell you why I sometimes walk in heels that I can't run in Make me feel free Because I'm so afraid you'll bury me Who to talk to where to turn What path to take What bridge to burn Red light yellow light green light What lesson did I just learn? Maybe stay planted and one day you'll feed the plants. Or run and run and run and run and run and run and feed the plants.
