[Verse 1]
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Come in below the radar
They want to spoil our fun
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
We can have ourselves a party
Before they come
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
[Bridge]
We had women and a mirror ball, we had a DJ
We used to eat pretty much all that came this way
Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place
I keep a tyre iron in the corner, just in case
[Verse 4]
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 gonna need a little luck
[Chorus]
You can still get gas in Heaven
And a drink in Kingdom Come
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
