I go to the corner where it all goes down   And i do things i'll regret but not right now   They say "angel, you been here before"   Yeah, i had my boots to carry me      Just like pandora with her box   I let everything out and spin around   And when they come to me, it's like a river to cross   But i have my boots to ferry me      And i remember how it feels   I always stop and remember but i do it again   And i jump up and slap my heels   Cause i have my boots on   I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face   I'd like to see my face on a magazine   The things i want, the life i need   My boots keep me between      I passed out on a subway train   And a woman she came and took my hand   But i'm alright i'm okay i can fall like rain   Long as i have my boots to help me stand      And the streets they empty hour by hour   Til they were finally drained and i was all alone   And just like pandora, i was sorry now   But i had my boots to carry me home      The sky is wild and full of holes   The wind is wild and it's full of coughs   Sometimes i think i'd float away   If i took my boots off   I'd like to see my eyes in someone else's face   I'd like to see my face on a magazine   The things i want, the life i need   My boots keep me between
