lyrics

She’s gotta magazine
Draped over her shoulder
Sittin’ in the corner
Cigarette and lipstick tainted smile
He’s gotta scarlet cross
Tucked under his armor
Lean in whisper to her
Do you know my savior, Jesus Christ

I wanna live in the sky
But I don’t wanna die
I’m always sleeping with
One Eye Open
I got an offer to make
It’s a bargain to take
Room aboard for keeping
One Eye Open

There at the dusty bar
Leaned a hooded man
With a pistol in his hand
Give me all your money or your life
They didn’t the girl on the stage
She was one hell of a woman with bazooka legs
Leather corset singing cabaret

I wanna live in the sky
But I don’t wanna die
I’m always sleeping with
One Eye Open
I got an offer to make
It’s a bargain to take
Room aboard for keeping
One Eye Open

Na na na na na na na na
One eye Open

Wooed by her charming song
The big legged woman revealed a smirk and a gun
Listen everyone to what I say
You’ve got a debt to pay
You can settle with you lives
Or take the offer I make
Join my crew and give me the next five

I wanna live in the sky
But I don’t wanna die
I’m always sleeping with
One Eye Open
I got an offer to make
It’s a bargain to take
Room aboard for keeping
One Eye Open

I’ve got something to say to you
Stay or play but you gotta choose
We’ll all make one hell of a crew
Ride or die
