Verse One:

Morning til' night
No one by his side
Nothing to eat and nowhere to hide
Those cold winter nights
Til' the morning light
Everyday's the same and he wants to change his life

[Chorus]

He's been in Dublin, two years now
Every night he lays his head in this, dirty old town
He's lost all hope and he's got no strife
One step closer to the, afterlife

Verse Two:

Doorways and streets
A lifetime of defeat
Nothing will ever change it all, remains the same

[Chorus]

He's been in Dublin, two years now
Every night he lays his head in this, dirty old town
He's lost all hope and he's got no strife
One step closer to the, afterlife

[Bridge]

Ah's

[Chorus]

He's been in Dublin, two years now
Every night he lays his head in this, dirty old town
He's lost all hope and he's got no strife
One step closer to the, afterlife

And he's one step closer to the afterlife
