The untied shoe

Listen kids cos this story is true
how many of you have a set of two
shoes and wonder if they've ever been blue
not the colour but the emotion too?
Well this is a story about one who
lived far away, upon the moon
alone from his double, he wasn't two
loneliness and isolation was all he knew

Not the life he would choose
I mean, would you?
Deep in outer space untied lace
lying across a tormented face.

So one night with the stars up above
with meteors crashing into space junk
the shoe took his life, not with a knife
but strangling himself with the laces tight
escaping his soul into the infinite night.
So when you're down or in strife
think of the shoe burning bright
in every star at great height
and thank your stars you're not on the moon
missing your other shoe which makes you two.
