If you see something that looks like a star,
Am D
shooting up out of the ground.
Am D Am D
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar,
Am D
and you just can't escape from the sound.
Am D
Don't worry, it's alright, 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.
[Verse 2]
Am D
The percentage you're paying is too high a price,
Am D
living beyond all your means.
Am D
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car,
Am D
with the profit he's made on your dreams.
Am D
Today you just read that the man was shot dead,
Am D D
by a gun that didn't make any noise.
[Chorus 2]
A E
It wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest,
G D D
it was the low spark of high-heeled boys.
[Interlude]

If you had just a minute to breathe,
Am D
and they offered you one final wish.
Am D Am D
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Am D
Or something similar to this.
Am D
Don't worry, it's alright, it'll happen to you.
Am D Am D
As sure as your sorrows are joys.
[Chorus 3]
A E
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound,

But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest,

it was the low spark of high-heeled boys, high heeled boys.

[Verse 5]
Am D
If I gave you everything that I owned,
Am D
and I asked for nothing in return.
Am D Am D
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Am D
Or take me for a ride.
Am D
And strip me of everything including my pride.
Am D Am D
But spirit is something no one can destroy.
[Chorus 5]
A E
And the thing that I'm hearing is only the sound,
G D D
of the low spark of high-heeled boys.
