When Irish Eyes Are Burning - The Ike Reilly Assassination[00:00:00]
I belong to the staggering evening[00:00:23]
I belong to the sweltering nights[00:00:26]
I belong to the girl that's leaving[00:00:29]
But all she wants to do is fight tonight[00:00:32]
Twist into my Irish eyes[00:00:35]
I get beatings with the loudest cries[00:00:37]
When you ever gonna realize[00:00:40]
All we're gonna do fight tonight[00:00:43]
It doesn't matter if you're seventeen[00:00:46]
It doesn't matter if you're twenty-one[00:00:49]
It doesn't matter if you're thirty-three[00:00:52]
Forgive me baby Jesus what I done[00:00:54]
I went to see the Violent Femmes[00:00:57]
With my friend John and his girlfriend[00:01:00]
But right before the show began[00:01:03]
He mixed it up with a girl named Tank[00:01:06]
Now I believe Tank was lesbian[00:01:09]
And somebody cracks Mama let's be friends[00:01:11]
She's Irish too and musical[00:01:14]
Almost giant and beautiful[00:01:17]
She threw the first punch it was the last[00:01:20]
Knocked John out cold flat on his back[00:01:23]
Well I'm agree she's like six foot ten[00:01:26]
Got on his shoulders and I watched the Femmes[00:01:29]
When Irish eyes are burnin' bright[00:01:31]
Drink your women run for your life[00:01:34]
A deadly shot can ruin the night[00:01:37]
When Irish eyes are burnin'[00:01:40]
Some time ago I went to a show[00:01:46]
With a Serbian girl that I still know[00:01:49]
It was Friday night and as the show let out[00:01:51]
I was rolling all over around on the ground[00:01:54]
Under the lights of the marquee[00:01:58]
At the Liberty Theater I was skinnin' my knees[00:02:00]
I was breakin' my nose on the fist of a Croat[00:02:03]
Smashin' my balls on the boot of one too[00:02:06]
Losing my teeth but I didn't really know it[00:02:09]
I was bleedin' on someone and dreamin' of you[00:02:12]
Just as the tide was beginning to turn[00:02:18]
I saw the face of Kevin Moriarty[00:02:20]
Matt and Dragonbreath and Eugene Graham[00:02:24]
Brian Quinn and Brendan O'Shea[00:02:27]
Chuck Sweeney and John F Quigley[00:02:30]
Were clean and sober but goddamn mean[00:02:32]
Christopher Farley and James Ford Murphy[00:02:35]
Makin' me laugh when I look for my teeth[00:02:38]
When Irish eyes are burnin' bright[00:02:41]
Drink your women run for your life[00:02:44]
A deadly shot can rule the night[00:02:47]
When Irish eyes are burnin'[00:02:50]
It doesn't matter if you're seventeen[00:02:56]
It doesn't matter if you're twenty-one[00:02:59]
It doesn't matter if you're thirty-three[00:03:02]
Forgive me baby Jesus what I done[00:03:05]
Forgive me baby Jesus what I done[00:03:07]
I belong to the staggering evening[00:03:22]
I belong to the sweltering nights[00:03:25]
I belong to the girl that's leaving[00:03:28]
But all we're gonna do is fight tonight[00:03:31]
Twist into my Irish eyes[00:03:33]
I get beatings with the loudest cries[00:03:36]
When you ever gonna realize[00:03:39]
We belong to the sweltering nights[00:03:42]
