Cleaning My Gun Lyrics - Get Lucky - Mark Knopfler

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 

Photos 

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 meantimre I'm cleaning my gun
