Darts Stopping, prices dropping, bargain shopping, all over town
Prams pushing, Cleary’s crushing, people rushing, Gardai frown
Buskars beating, fast food eating, school friends meeting, McDonalds clown
Mirror posing, shutters closing, daytime’s dozing all over town
Alarms ringing, drunkards singing, taxi’s bringing into town
Couples kissing, loners missing, people pissing all over town
The Liffey is streaming, everyone’s dreaming, the neon’s are beaming
All’s closed down.
