About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Well, I caught my eye in the mirror And gave it a long and loving inspection "There stands some kind of man," I roared And there did, in the reflection [Verse 2] My hair combed back like a raven's wing My muscles hard and tight And curling from the business end of my gun Was a query-mark of cordite [Verse 3] Well I spun to the left and I spun to the right And I spun to the left again "Well, fear me! Fear me! Fear me!" No one did cause they were dead Huh, oh, my god [Verse 4] And then there came the police sirens wailing And a bullhorn squelched and blared "Drop your weapons and come out With your hands in the air!" [Verse 5] Well, I checked the chamber of my gun Saw one final bullet left And my hand looked almost human As I raised it to my head [Verse 6] "Drop your weapons and come out! Keep your hands above your head!" I took one long hard think about dying And did exactly what they said [Verse 7] There must have been fifty cops out there In a circle around O'Malley's Bar "Don't shoot," I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!" So they put me in the car [Verse 8] And they sped me away from that terrible scene And I glanced out of the window Saw O'Malley's Bar, saw the cops and the cars And I started counting on my fingers [Coda] One, two, three, four Oh my god O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar O'Malley's Bar Oh my god
