[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 storm glass 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 tire iron in the corner, just in case
[Verse 3]
Hang a little magic bullet on a little chain
Keep me 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 gonna need a little luck
You can still get gas in heaven and drink in kingdom come
In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun
