[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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 ya throwing shapes around
It was underneath the waking of a Dublin city sky

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
'Cause 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
And in the foggy dew, I saw ya throwing shapes around
And it was underneath the waking of a Dublin city sky

[Chorus]
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
Oh, but we'll never truly be
We trip along disaster in the whirlwind of the free
Altogether now
