Ah were drinking and were dancing[00:00:27]
and the band is really happening[00:00:29]
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high[00:00:31]
And my very sweet companion[00:00:36]
shes the Angel of Compassion[00:00:38]
shes rubbing half the world against her thigh[00:00:40]
And every drinker every dancer[00:00:44]
lifts a happy face to thank her[00:00:47]
the fiddler fiddles something so sublime[00:00:49]
all the women tear their blouses off[00:00:53]
and the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:00:56]
and its partner found, its partner lost[00:00:58]
and its hell to pay when the fiddler stops:[00:01:00]
its CLOSING TIME[00:01:02]
Yeah the women tear their blouses off[00:01:07]
and the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:01:09]
and its partner found, its partner lost[00:01:11]
and its hell to pay when the fiddler stops:[00:01:13]
its CLOSING TIME CLOSING TIME[00:01:18]
Ah were lonely, were romantic[00:01:26]
and the ciders laced with acid[00:01:29]
and the Holy Spirits crying, "Wheres the beef?"[00:01:31]
And the moon is swimming naked[00:01:35]
and the summer night is fragrant[00:01:38]
with a mighty expectation of relief[00:01:40]
So we struggle and we stagger[00:01:44]
down the snakes and up the ladder[00:01:47]
to the tower where the blessed hours chime[00:01:49]
and I swear it happened just like this:[00:01:53]
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss[00:01:56]
the Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:01:58]
I cant say much has happened since[00:02:00]
but CLOSING TIME[00:02:02]
I swear it happened just like this:[00:02:07]
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss[00:02:09]
the Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:02:11]
I cant say much has happened since I cant say much has happened since[00:02:13]
CLOSING TIME CLOSING TIME[00:02:20]
I loved you for your beauty[00:02:29]
but that doesnt make a fool of me:[00:02:31]
you were in it for your beauty too[00:02:34]
and I loved you for your body[00:02:37]
theres a voice that sounds like God to me[00:02:40]
declaring, declaring, declaring that your bodys really you[00:02:42]
And I loved you when our love was blessed[00:02:51]
and I love you now theres nothing left[00:02:54]
but sorrow and a sense of overtime[00:02:56]
and I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:03:00]
And I just dont care what happens next[00:03:02]
looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:03:04]
its something in between, I guess[00:03:07]
its CLOSING TIME[00:03:09]
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:03:13]
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex[00:03:16]
looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:03:18]
its something in between, I guess[00:03:20]
its CLOSING TIME CLOSING TIME[00:03:24]
Yeah were drinking and were dancing[00:03:33]
but theres nothing really happening[00:03:35]
and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night[00:03:37]
And my very close companion[00:03:41]
gets me fumbling gets me laughing[00:03:44]
shes a hundred but shes wearing[00:03:46]
something tight[00:03:48]
and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth[00:03:51]
which you cant reveal to the Ears of Youth[00:03:53]
except to say it isnt worth a dime[00:03:55]
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:03:59]
and its once for the devil and once for Christ[00:04:02]
but the Boss dont like these dizzy heights[00:04:04]
were busted in the blinding lights,[00:04:06]
busted in the blinding lights[00:04:08]
of CLOSING TIME[00:04:08]
The whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:04:12]
and its once for the devil and once for Christ[00:04:15]
but the Boss dont like these dizzy heights[00:04:17]
were busted in the blinding lights,[00:04:19]
busted in the blinding lights busted in the blinding lights[00:04:22]
of CLOSING TIME CLOSING TIME[00:04:26]
Oh the women tear their blouses off[00:04:35]
and the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:04:37]
Its CLOSING TIME[00:04:39]
And its partner found, its partner lost[00:04:43]
and its hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:04:46]
