Well I can fall asleep making plans
I've got angels take them for granted
I've got strangers shaking my hand
Now that I've seen the lay of the land
And I was touring in vans
Since I was a younger man
I was shaking the worlds hands
I was bright and full of the plans
But this life can steal your soul
My wife and kid they give me hope
A young nipper just fresh off the dole
I was broke and unpredictable
Driving one way through the city spin the wheel like marty whelan
I've got my angel face on I'm sacrificing all them demons
Flying straight through the glass ceiling willy wonka seasons
October year getting blasted even me oul lad start believing
But before i get too sentimental, crayons markers, pens and pencils
I could use them all to vent about the days I used to head to
Leisureplex in Blanchardstown
Or xtra vision mark it down
Soapbar hash lets spark it now
It's dark out now
But I've got a question from or ya
I did my best I'm okay
I've got a lesson for ya
I am not stressing for ya
This is not the best environment
To raise a child the politicians hide the violence
But i'll do my best I'm okay
I called to tell you I was lonely
Called you from Arizona
Called you from California
But now I'm on the way home
In Dublin streets I'm alone
And I've been up and down every road
I got questions only god knows
I've been through love and loss
And hate and remorse so much I'm exhausted
I drip tears like a faucet
I drink beers til I'm nautious
I switch gears til I'm lawless
I live in fear I'm far from flawless
Mental scars I be haunted
But I got a question for ya
I did my best I'm okay
I got a lesson for ya
I am not stressing for ya
This is not the best environment
To raise me child the politicians hide the violence
But i'll do me best I'm okay
Called to tell you I was lonely
Called you from Arizona
Called you from California
But now I'm on my way home now
In Dublin streets I'm alone
And I've been up and down every road
I got questions only god knows
