High Heels

[Chorus]
High heels, so high
We suffer for fashion, but why?
They've got a power you can't deny
High heels, so high

[Verse 1]
It started with the Persian cavalry
Admired by the French aristocracy
They wore high heels in the heat of war
The trend spread to the palace floor
Far removed from practicality
High heels were the height of masculinity
Worn by King Louis the fourteenth
Higher than his kingdom had ever seen

[Chorus]
High heels, so high
We suffer for fashion, but why?
They've got a power you can’t deny
High heels, so high

[Verse 2]
Who could forget Marie Antoinette?
Excess without a single regret
So high with her feet up at Versailles
Meanwhile, leaving her people to die
High heels, unfashionable
"Just like women, irrational"
Monarchy is so last season
The feet of the elite smell like treason

[Chorus]
High heels, so high
We suffer for fashion, but why?
They've got a power you can’t deny
High heels, so high

[Verse 3]
High heels were out of style
At least for a while
Women in pants, women on wheels
It's hard to march in high heels
Regrettably, pornography brought back high heels for eternity
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
High heels accentuate a woman's curves
So exotic, made erotic
Forever and ever

[Chorus]
High heels, so high
We suffer for fashion, but why?
They've got a power you can’t deny
High heels, so high
High heels, so high
Break through that ceiling, it's time
We've got the power to decide
High heels, so high

[Outro]
High heels
Who says they're only for women?
The future of high heels is only beginning
Feminine and gentlemen, we're all walking around in them
High heels, so high
