Cleaning My Gun |
| I keep a weather eye on the horizon, my back to the wall |
| I like to know who’s coming through the door, that’s all |
| It’s the old Army training kicking in |
| I’m not complaining, it’s the world we live in Blarney and Malarkey, they’re a devious firm |
| They’ll take you to the cleaners or let you burn |
| The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen — thanks a lot |
| We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got |
| Come in below the radar, they want to spoil our fun |
| In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun |
| Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank |
| We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank |
| I keep a weather eye on the horizon, tap the stormglass now and then |
| I’ve got a case of Old Damnation for when you get here, my friend |
| We can have ourselves a party before they come |
| In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun |
| We had women and a mirror ball, we had a dee jay |
| used to eat pretty much all that came his way |
| Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place |
| I keep a tyre iron in the corner, just in case |
| I gave you a magic bullet on a little chain |
| to keep you safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain |
| We’re gonna might need bullets should we get stuck |
| Any which way, we’re going to need a little luck |
| You can still get gas in Heaven, and a drink in Kingdom Come |
| In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun |
