Elvis Costello sums it up very well for me, it is one of his first songs from 1977

Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Oh, I was watching while you're dancing away
Our love got fractured in the echo and sway
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
You know that it still hurts me just to say it
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh, why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused (oh, that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust (oh, I'm so sad)
But it's so hard to refuse
How can you say that I'm too old
When the angels have stolen my red shoes
Oh, I said I'm so happy, I could die
She said drop dead, then left with another guy
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance
Ever since you got me punctured
This has been my sentence
Oh, I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain
That's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
And I won't get any older
Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes....
Mama bought a pair of Red Shoes, I may have sold my soul to the devil for them but who cares, I cannot wait to paint the town red in them. Bring on the parties!!!! I may find a way to wear them on Halloween! LOL
