[Verse 1] I'm shaking hands with all bad seeds While I moonlight as a preacher It's gonna be the end of me I should be dead by midnight [Pre-Chorus 1] I can't be caught in this red dress It reeks of roses and vigor I've broken bread with my best friend Come on, shape up, it doesn't mean a thing I'm as calm as they come [Chorus] The bigger they are The harder they fall On the face of fact Stay silent keep calm I'm the heartache ender Heads or tails, decide Or go quiеtly Into the night [Verse 2] Nothing gets past my dignity The streets arе filled with cheap shots They either work for drugs or cream No one will live til midlife [Pre-Chorus 2] I can't be caught in this red mess It smells of rogue machine guns They're sweating bullets while singing Come on, those rats are only good when dead I'm as calm as they come
[Chorus] The bigger they are The harder they fall On the face of fact Stay silent keep calm I'm the heartache ender Heads or tails, decide Or go quietly Into the night [Bridge] Washing the blood of my hands Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Treason and reason goes to bed A son of a gun I've got your picture In case something goes south Escape as sinner A saint's omission All we are is dust Pointless lives Is this what you want? The remedy is bleach Enhances from your rich, poor life [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] The bigger they are The harder they fall On the face of fact Stay silent keep calm I'm the heartache ender Heads or tails, decide Or go quietly Into the night [Outro] I can't be caught in this red dress I can't be caught in this red mess I can't be caught in this red dress I can't be caught in this red mess
