Lovegrove Street
© 2001 Neal Phillips

I was walking on Lovegrove Street
When I heard the sound of a cappella feet
Stealthy footsteps spelled bad news
Then a voice behind me said,
"I really like those shoes"

He said, "Mister, listen well
I don't mean to hurt you, but you just can't tell
Loosen those laces, and slip away
And you just might live to dance another day"

I said, "Wait, these shoes are cursed!
I hate these Rockports, they are the worst
They creak and groan with every tread
Someday these shoes are gonna wake the dead"

He just laughed, and looked so mean
His eyes were deep, and evil green
The pavement flew beneath my toes
And a chilly wind blew through my clothes

If you go down to Lovegrove Street
And you hear a sound like a leather squeak
Save your soul, just hurry on
'Cause the devil's coming, and that's his song
