It's five o'clock, the lights are up, you've all seen better days
Tired of the working haul you drink what you've been paid
The men are trying and they're buying glass for every lass
But their breath's stinking o' death and they're falling on their ass

There's a man in the back about to attack the remnants of his youth
His luck's been down, he's bought the rounds of 50 percent proof
His heart's always been aching but his eyes won't shed a tear
He's drank enough o' the black stuff, he's been gone for years and years

When the Devil's got your number and you don't know what to do
You're staggering down the Labyrinth Alley to find a place to spew
You can blame it on the pain, the shame, the charlie or the craic
But the truth will always manifest in glasses deathly black

Wee Connor's just a young lad, thinks he's got something to prove
Each night he drinks with older boys, all smacking back the booze
His dad's a good-for-nothing but he taught the boy to drink
He's been tanning it back for hours now, it helps him under think

When the Devil's got your number and you don't know what to do
You're staggering down the Labyrinth Alley to find a place to spew
You can blame it on the pain, the shame, the charlie or the craic
But the truth will always manifest in glasses deathly black

You promised me you'd sober up, I'm sick of all the lies!
Well I've only had 3 pints!
You're drunk! I see it in your eyes
Well, I drink to numb the pain of having to spend my life with you
Just one for the ditch, ya heartless bitch!
That's it, we're done, we're through!

When the Devil's got your number and you don't know what to do
You're staggering down the Labyrinth Alley to find a place to spew
You can blame it on the pain, the shame, the charlie or the craic
But the truth will always manifest in glasses deathly black

When the Devil's got your number and you don't know what to do,
You're staggering down the Labyrinth Alley to find a place to spew
You can blame it on the pain, the shame, the charlie or the craic
But the truth will always manifest in glasses deathly black
