one of these days i'll sweep you off your feet
with the tools that i learned from my job cleanin streets
cause they gave me a broom and a subsidized room
and a meal ticket baby for two
in this great future they all say awaits
will there be free whiskey and chicken fried steak?
or will even true love be taxed by the state?
finish yer pints and say goodbye
by night we live, by day we die
heaven isn't goin anywhere
so kiss goodbye yer lover an write home to yer mother
yer ship is sailing, god, to who knows where
i got a good life baby and it treats me well
i can thank my great grandma who left donegal
with her heart in her hand and a dream of a land
where she could be with the one that she loved
one of these days we're gonna see whats in store
when the stories we've told will be stories no more
we'll fly from this earth to the very top floor
and break through the glass ceiling, the glass ceiling
finish yer pints and say goodbye
by night we live, by day we die
heaven isn't goin anywhere
so kiss goodbye yer lover an write home to yer mother
yer ship is sailing, god, to who knows where
