young costello - one eye open lyrics
(verse 1)
every time i think we’ve finally reached the bottom
i swear it feels just like the floor starts caving in
i’ve always been a decent man but friend, you know as well as i do
that the time for decency has reached an end
and i’m certain at the end of this, they’ll strap me to a chair
please believe me when i say that i won’t cry
as the needle hits the vein, they’ll sing a song about the day
that dirty, rotten, lying, no+good motherf+cker lost his life
(chorus)
dear old disaster, sleep with one eye open
cause i’ve been counting the days and you’re all out of time
party’s over, stand clear
i know that things will never be like before
but i’d settle for a typical day
the television says olympus has fallen
so at last, let freedom ring
(verse 2)
let’s go over this again, right from the top, now
one slight of hand to make the world a better place
i never thought it’d come to this but now i’m flirting with the risk
just for a chance to wipe that smile off your face
and i’m certain at the end of this, they’ll tell you i’m insane
please believe me when i say that i don’t mind
lose the battle, win the war
big deal, i’ve heard it all before
so if you’re thinking you can stop me then just go ahead and try
well all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
can deny human rights with the stroke of a pen
this is an act of resistance, a means to an end
one last chance to slow our descent
(chorus)
dear old disaster, sleep with one eye open
cause i’ve been counting the days and you’re all out of time
party’s over, stand clear
i know that things will never be like before
but i’d settle for a typical day
the television says olympus has fallen
so at last, let freedom ring
(bridge)
it takes three minutes to get from the hotel to where the black car’s
waiting
it takes three minutes to get from the hotel to where the black car’s
waiting
five
the lights flash and flood through the doorway
four
as planned he now stands here before me
three, two
no more time for having second thoughts
(verse 3)
now i’m trying to get away from all the cops now
adrenaline now courses freely through my veins
it won’t be long until i’m found
“hands up, we’ve got the place surrounded”
drop the gun and do exactly what they say
and i’m certain at the end of this, they’ll beat me til i’m numb
please believe me when i say that i won’t break
as they strap me to the chair, i’ll sit and smile from ear to ear
my contribution to the cause will not be something they can take
(chorus)
dear old disaster, sleep with one eye open
cause i’ve been counting the days and you’re all out of time
party’s over, stand clear
i know that things will never be like before
but i’d settle for a typical day
the television says olympus has fallen
so at last, let freedom ring
