Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

White Shoes

You can wear your new white shoes in the muddy afternoon

Walking past these day drunks too, they whistle with their hands

But I could be your catcall too, anything you wanna do

Anything you wanna do

You can take your slide trombone, play it in your catacombs

Find a town that moves real slow and turn it on its head

And I could be your Pharaoh's tomb, anything you wanna do

Lover anything you wanna do

If you want to be common I can claim that I tamed you

A demigod in a bonnet, they're gonna know it ain't true

You can paint your nails lime green, rent yourself a limousine

Kidnap the professor's niece, just tell them that she's dead

We'll party in a hotel room, anything you wanna do

Sister anything you wanna do

You can get your hair all wet sleeping on the riverbed

Kiss a frog and then dissect, gotta find out what's inside

And you can have my bad side too, anything you wanna do

Sure anything you wanna do

If you want to be common I can claim that I tamed you

A demigod in a bonnet, they're gonna know it ain't true

And yes, you are King David's star

And the crescent moon, and the crescent moon

You must sweep the Bodhi tree

I sit beneath, I sit beneath

You can wear your new white shoes in the dirty afternoon

Walking through the traffic fumes, a flower in your hair

And I will swing upon your moods, anytime you want me to

Just tell me what you wanna do, anything you wanna do

Lover anything you wanna do, lover anything you wanna do
