Well this world is hard and no one gives a shit To help anyone or give them their just pay There ain't no hand out and they take more than they give And you find you're going crazier each day And the one you love, you're torturing 'Cause all that fucking pressure leaves a whipping sting And you will know when you've nowhere else to go That you got to turn to something that's enlightening So I'm going down, going down to Leopardstowns When the horses run a flat, for I'm flat broke I'm going down Where the wine and whiskey flow, leave the ladies all aglow Back to wander Francis Street in the morning Back to wander Francis Street in the morning Well I've just got to be strong, 'cause it's lasted so long The sadness now that has me in its grip Well I'm completely worn of thinking I have to conform And I have to give this stale life the slip But I love you, that's why it's so hard to Leave, but I know I have to be strong To create a new dynamic of our Lives, to try to cut the pain and strife Well don't give up on me, for I won't be always gone So I'm going down, going down to Leopardstowns When the horses run a flat, for I'm flat broke I'm going down Where the wine and whiskey flow, leave the ladies all aglow Back to wander Francis Street in the morning Back to wander Francis Street in the morning
