Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stick us up
Go ahead, put your finger on the trigger
You're so tough
Come on home and we'll see whose trick is bigger

Free bottle, don't you waste it
Pour it out, we can taste it
My friends, we party naked

So let's get faded, yeah

We could use a little sleep, been goin' all night
But we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
We don't need nobody else, we're feelin' alright
Yeah we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
Red eyes

Live it up
Gettin' rough, gettin' rowdy in the basement
Raise a glass
‘Cause we're all making out for entertainment

Free bottle, don't you waste it
Pour it out, we can taste it
My friends, we party naked
So let's get faded, yeah

We could use a little sleep, been goin' all night
But we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
We don't need nobody else, we're feelin' alright
Yeah we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
Red eyes
Red eyes

We know who we are, lipstick and cigars
Drink with boys in cars, yea we know who we are
Trouble at the bar, knew it from the start

We could use a little sleep, been goin' all night
But we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
We don't need nobody else, we're feelin' alright
Yeah we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
Red eyes
Red eyes

We could use a little sleep, been goin' all night
But we can see you with our red eyes, red eyes
