Black Shoes Lyrics by The Films

Don’t Dance Rattlesnake

2006

[Verse 1]
Black shoes, tie and overcoat
Head full of lines and don't you know
I can see you coming from a mile
He's looking for another taste
But I'm gonna put him in his place
With charm and grace
Elegance and style
[Chorus]
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
'Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt at all
You're heading for the boiling water
[Verse 2]
Well, he's got his mother on his side
Up to his neck with selfish pride
It's costing him a lot more than he knows
He's looking for another fight
I hope that he knows that we just
Might take him for everything he owns
[Chorus]
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
'Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt at all
You're heading for the boiling water
[Bridge]
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la
[Chorus]
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
'Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt at all
You're heading for the boiling water
