Tindersticks - Slippin' Shoes, The Something Rain (2012)

Lyrics:

I was feeling raped
By my desire to give
So much that I had to lose
But giving isn't something you can choose
Time lies dead

Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate when our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
Trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we've loved

I hear you fell off your shoe
Running into town, there was so much you had to do
In a crowded station too
Crying on your knees

Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate when our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
Trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we've loved

Running, running, running
Into that blue
Dancing, dancing, dancing
The party through
A party for our demise

Hey, we could put on our shoes
We can celebrate when our hearts break and go laughing through that noose
Hey, we could put our shoes back on
Trample down the flowers that grow on the ones we've loved

Hey, we could melt them down for glue
Those horses that once carried our dreamings through that same old blue
