Dublin in the rain is mine

A pregnant city with a catholic mind

Starch those sheets for the birdhouse jail

All mescalined when the past is stale, pale

Dublin in the rain is mine

A pregnant city with a catholic mind

Slick little boy with a mind of Ritz

Pulling that thread for the next big fix, this

My childhood was small

My childhood was small

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

My childhood was small

My childhood was small

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

Well, Dublin in the rain is mine

A pregnant city with a catholic mind

Starch those sheets for the birdhouse jail

All mescalined when the past is stale, pale

Dublin in the rain is mine

A loose ambassador for all that crime

Slick little boy with a mind of Ritz

Pulling that thread for the next big fix, this

My childhood was small

My childhood was small

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

My childhood was small, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

My childhood, it was small

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

But I'm gonna be big

I'm gonna be big
