Big Foot now with song video

 

BIG FOOT

SIZE 52 SHOES WERE LIKE A DREAM TO HIM

BUT HE WOULD NEVER GIVE UP THE DREAM

SANDALS AS BIG AS BOATS

FILLED HIS FANTASIES

AND SHINY BLACK PATENT LEATHER

DRESS SHOES MADE HIS MOUTH WATER

WITH THE THOUGHT OF THEM

FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE

HE SOUGHT A SHOEMAKER

TO DO HIS BIDDING BUT FOUND NONE

AND SO HE DUG FOR HIMSELF A VALLEY

AND COVERED HIMSELF WITH A MOUNTAIN AND SLEPT

TEARS FROZEN ON HIS DEAD FACE STILL

AND A BROKEN HEART STOPPED BEATING AT LAST

STOPPED YEARNING FOR WHAT WOULD NEVER BE

STOPPED DREAMING OF SIZE 52 SHOES

TO COVER GIGANTIC FEET THAT EVER MADE HIM

FEEL LIKE A FREAK AMONG MEN

BIG FOOT, THEY CALLED HIM AND BIG FOOT, HE WAS

SHOELESS AND FRIENDLESS AND HIDDEN IN THE TREES

WATCHING PEOPLE FROLIC AROUND IN THEIR BRIGHT

WHITE SHOES AND BOOTS AND SLIPPERS

NEVER KNOWING THERE LURKED ONE

JUST BEHIND THEM TIMID AS A MOUSE

YET FEARED AS A MONSTER

WHO HAD LIVED FOR AGES AMONG THEIR KIND

AND LONGED TO BE LIKE THEM. LONGED TO BE LOVED....

LONGED TO WEAR SHIRTS AND TIES AND PRESSED TROUSERS

AND RAINCOATS

BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING, HIS DREAM THAT NEVER CAME TRUE

TO BE KNOWN AS THE GENTLE CREATURE THAT HE WAS

TO BE ACCEPTED BY HIS HAIRLESS BROTHERS IN KINDNESS

AND MOST OF ALL AND DEAREST TO HIS SASQUATCH HEART

TO WEAR SHOES, REAL SHOES, SIZE 52'S, BLACK AND SHINY

AND ALL HIS OWN

UPON HIS BIG LONELY FEET.
