ย
I keep a weather eye on the horizon,
ย
back to the wall
I like to know whoโs coming through the door,
thatโs all.
It's the old army training -
kicking in
Iโm not complaining
Itโs the world we live in.
ย
Blarney & Malarkey -
Theyโre a devious firm
Take you to the cleaners,
and let you burn
Their help is breaking dishes...
in the kitchen, thanks a lot
We hired the worst dishwasher
this place ever got!
ย
In below the radar,
they want to spoil our fun.
In the meantime,
Iโm cleaning my gun!
ย
Remember it got so cold
ice froze up the tank?
We lit a fire beneath her
just so she would crank
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
Tap the stone glass now and then
We got a case of old damnation
for when you get here my friend.
ย
We can have ourselves a party
before they come!
In the meantime,
Iโm cleaning my gun!
ย
[MK guitar solo]
ย
We had women and a mirror ball,
We had a DJ
He 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!
ย
Hang a magic bullet
on a little chain
keep me safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain
Weโre gonna might need bullets
should we get stuck
Any which way,
weโre gonna need a little luck
ย
You can still get gas in heaven
And a drink in kingdom come.
In the meantime,
Iโm cleaning my gun!
