It was early in the morning all the bars were shut up tight Sidewalks were a glistening, not a taxi found in sight Dog barking at a lamppost but nobody was there Old man propped up in the alley with a thousand yard stare One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin The wailing of the trains as they thunder thru the night Devil kicking up the dust under a dimly lit street light A broom was slowly being pushed from sidewalk to the street A distant siren chases ghosts of folks you'll never meet One lone man was dragging rubber barrels to the bin Eight grinning cats jumped out as the bottles tumbled in One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin Wake up in the morning and wonder where you are There's a stranger next to you and a beat up old guitar Burnt out candles by the bed some soggy cigarettes A couple empty bottles several classic rock cassettes It seems like I've been here about a hundred times before As I slowly find my clothes and make my way towards the door One more night to roll the dice and gamble for the win One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin One more night in paradise of liquor, vice, and sin Gary Mackender - drums, accordion, organ, toy piano, percussion, vocals Karl Hoffmann - bass, guitars, background vocals Joe Fanning - baritone, ukelele, background vocals Björgvin Benediktsson - background vocals
