As children We who wore tights to school were taught to wok in high heels with a book on our heads to never wear mascara on our bottom lashes red lipstick = harlot red nails = ***** wearing jewelry = sinful to be proper to mind our manners the three monkeys mantra So we still Go downtown in our good clothes Wearing high heels carrying a matching bag We have expensive taste Reputations to uphold fast cars + faster boys = red lipstick red nails bodies bejeweled We learned All of that Indoctrination was nonsense Oh! The high heels of heartache! How those cruel shoes constrained us

The High Heels of Heartache
As children We who wore tights to school were taught to wok in high heels with a book on our heads to never wear mascara on our bottom lashes red lipstick = harlot red nails = ***** wearing jewelry = sinful to be proper to mind our manners the three monkeys mantra So we still Go downtown in our good clothes Wearing high heels carrying a matching bag We have expensive taste Reputations to uphold fast cars + faster boys = red lipstick red nails bodies bejeweled We learned All of that Indoctrination was nonsense Oh! The high heels of heartache! How those cruel shoes constrained us
