TEMPLE BAR

Lizards are crawling across my television set
This pretty witch is talking
She hasn’t got to the point yet
And I’m waiting to go on – a long vacation too
I had my chance I missed it once I took it twice
Now I’m down on my knees peeking
Through the keyhole of paradise
Going rat crazy… over you

You were my dream if such a thing exists
Now I’m awake and I’m ready for a long wet kiss

Going up to Dublin down to Temple Bar
I’ll be standing in the gutter but I’ll be strumming my guitar
I’m a misfit darling and I like it that way
My life’s been full of miracles and tragedy
Most of the things I worry about
They don’t happen to me
All in all I can’t complain

You were the nightmare that began as my big thrill
I’m awake and I’m ready – can you give me my pill?

Twenty minutes from now I’m a gonna stand up
Put on my ruffled shirt with the French cuffs
I’m going out on the town – ‘though most everything is closed
