Lyrics

[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
