Day 4 - Red Shoes On

The scribbled out part was my first idea but i realized how STUPID it was. Inspiration for that was a conversation some classmates were having about the "end of the world" and that subject freaks the crap outta me so i started writing about how terrifying that topic is BUT class started and we watched music videos in class and the first video was Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues. Needless to say i scraped the first idea and wanted to write a bluesy song . . . 
verse 1 - I've got my red shoes on 
and my time well spent
I've got my red shoes on
got no time to repent

mini chorus - well I'm sitting here on the bus
wearing these shoes
and I'm humming these blues

verse 2 - I've got my head in a daze
and a stirring in my feet 
my thoughts are in a maze
and the sky's pretty bleak (or "I've got this pretty cool beat")

mini chorus 2 - well I'm watching the rain drops on my window
I don't have far to go 

verse 3 - I've got my red shoes on 
and the rest of my day
I've got to finish this song
before the day fades away

mini chorus 3 - I'm riding this train
I'm going insane 
I've got nothing to lose

I've got my red shoes on (x5 to fade)


There IS no music all I hear accompanying it is a stomp-clap beat. . . it sounds really good in my head. 
I hear a sort of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals "Nothing But Water" but not . . . .
