Is my longing for Dublin just coz you’re in it
I’m on the decks and it’s the way that you spin it
And there are buildings scraping the sky
And a civilization threatening to die 
And I walked the yards into the green
I was ashamed of what I had been 
In midnights and the dawn
I searched for something but it was gone
A pyramid scheme 
Til the suffering woke the dream
Up from where it had been sleeping
Now it’s just the promise I’m keeping 
As I pray to a God without belief
And the moment of relief
When all and sundry falls away
Some have called it the break of day
But it’s the dark
The dead of night in the park
Just staring at walls
Hoping for a free for all
But I got a cell and a bed to lay
Could I have had it any other way?
