Cleaning My Gun lyrics

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 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 DJ,

Used to eat pretty much all that came this way.

Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place

I keep a tire 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 gonna 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.
