Cold Eye lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Walkabouts
Album: Devil's Road

Lyrics

Painted so many towns
Painted them up and down
Down to the broken ground
Pointed the last one, for now

Soon I will stow away
Into the cool nightshade
Watching fireworks fly
In the reservation sky

Found only hell to pay
Draggin' these bones all day
Sun-up to cocktail time
Dragged 'em till I was blind

The field full of also-rans
Stealin' my used up plans
All of my friends were there
They couldn't believe I cared

When I put my cold eye to it x2
And I couldn't say no

Luck is the thing I make
Luck is the thing you break
After it all went wrong
Before I was good as gone

Deep in the beggin' bowl
I found some scraps to take
Drank from your poison jar
Found I was wide awake

When i, put my cold eye to it x2
And I never said no, no i
Never said no

When i, put my cold eye to it x2
Yes, I put my cold eye to it
And I never said no, no i
Never said no
