I was down the bottom half of some old bar in Chinatown
 
 Me shoes had brought the rain and soaked the space for lookin' down
 
 As drunk as love is lethal, I spun a lady 'round
 
 And I kissed her 'neath the waking of a Dublin City sky
 
  
  She threw her shoes into her bag and danced just like a dream
 
 Her face was rubied up just like no Sun I'd ever seen
 
 She said I was a phony, I said I could be mean
 
 And I treated her so badly I made my baby cry
  
 
 The January markets filled the cold air with the sound
 
 The boys all full of laughter and their pocket with the pound
 
 And in the foggy dew, I saw you throwing shapes around
 
 It was underneath the waking of a Dublin City sky
  
 
 And it all makes sour
 
 To watch my lover wrap her arms around the flag of power
 
 Hurry now you will
 
 To know you is to love you and I love you even still
 
 But we'll never truly be
 
 We trip along disaster in the whirlwind of the free
 
 Altogether now
