The Lyrics
You ever see a pair of sneakers hanging on the telephone wire? This dude has...
There's these kids in this neighbourhood of mine
For some reason they like to spend their time
Stealin' each other's shoes to throw up high
They're stuck on my high-voltage lines
To be fair, they're technic'lly not "my" lines, it's true
But they pass right over my damn house, dude
The point is that there's a crap-ton of shoes
Hangin' on my high-voltage lines
There's Nike, Adidas, some knock-off shite
Wonder if birds use them as loos, gross, right?
Twenty-one pairs and countin', quite the sight
Those shoes on my high-voltage lines
The wi-ire's still not saggin', that's just fine
I don't know how my internet works, right
But I've yet to see any lag, if there was, I'd
Blame what's on my high-voltage lines
Where the hell did I put those shoes of mine?
Got a meetin', I'd like to be on time
I've a theory, one look and hey, I'm right
Been thrown on my high-voltage lines
For some reason they like to spend their time
Stealin' each other's shoes to throw up high
They're stuck on my high-voltage lines
To be fair, they're technic'lly not "my" lines, it's true
But they pass right over my damn house, dude
The point is that there's a crap-ton of shoes
Hangin' on my high-voltage lines
There's Nike, Adidas, some knock-off shite
Wonder if birds use them as loos, gross, right?
Twenty-one pairs and countin', quite the sight
Those shoes on my high-voltage lines
The wi-ire's still not saggin', that's just fine
I don't know how my internet works, right
But I've yet to see any lag, if there was, I'd
Blame what's on my high-voltage lines
Where the hell did I put those shoes of mine?
Got a meetin', I'd like to be on time
I've a theory, one look and hey, I'm right
Been thrown on my high-voltage lines
Now I'm wondering if anyone's been hit on the head by one of those pairs of shoes after the laces finally rotted away and/or got pecked away by birds.

Dude didn't realize that he threw his own shoes up there? LOL What a goof!
The implication was that his shoes got stolen and thrown up by the same kids who were stealing each other's shoes, but I like your interpretation too!
I just remembered that a common sight in my childhood was a kite tangled up in the power lines. I do see shoes now and then, but I guess kids don't play with kites anymore.
What are you, kidding? After they stole my shoes they threw ME up on the high voltage lines. I hung there for days, I tell you. It wasn't easy. It's never been easy. That was a rough neighborhood is what I'm saying. Very rough. The ones who did it were my parents! I got no respect. No respect at all.
And the worst thing is, after two weeks a stranger passing by finally called the cops about me, and the cops said, "As long as he's not causing power outages, we're not gonna do anything."
Then they called the guys from the power company. Real beauties, I tell you. They said to leave me up there for a few more kilowatt-hours because I was a good conductor. Rough neighborhood. Rough, are you kidding, but well-lighted.
And my wife, there's another beauty. I go to buy a donkey cart from my neighbor; I find my wife's burqah in the back. So I tell the village elders "We gotta restore my honor." So they bury her in a pit, and give me a nerf ball to throw at her. No honor. Then all the men in the village throw bouquets of flowers at her. No respect ....... As a kid I got no respect. When I was a kid, my Dad took me on the Hajj. When It came time to stone the devil at Mina, Dad tells everyone to warm up on me. And when it came time to run between Safa and Marwan, Dad runs to Marwan, and then just keeps on running! When I ask the police "Will we ever find my Daddy?", they said, "I dont know kid, but if we do, we're gonna behead the bastard ... for bringing you to Mecca." ....... Last year, I became a Shi'ite, so I go to see the well of the 12th Imam. All the pilgrims ganged up on me and threw me down the well! And if that wasn't bad enough, the guy at the bottom threw me back out! I tell you I cant TAKE IT anymore!! I go up the minaret of the village mosque to commit suicide. They send the muezzin up. I say "Dont try to stop me, I'm jumping" He says, "I'm not here to stop you, I'm here to call everybody to come watch."
