Ah we're drinking and we're dancing[00:00:20]
And the band is really happening[00:00:22]
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high[00:00:25]
And my very sweet companion[00:00:30]
She's the Angel of Compassion[00:00:32]
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh[00:00:35]
And every drinker every dancer[00:00:39]
Lifts a happy face to thank her[00:00:42]
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime[00:00:45]
All the women tear their blouses off[00:00:50]
And the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:00:52]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:00:55]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:00:57]
It's Closing Time[00:01:00]
Yeah the women tear their blouses off[00:01:05]
And the men they dance on the polka-dots[00:01:07]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:01:10]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:01:12]
It's Closing Time[00:01:17]
Ah we're lonely we're romantic[00:01:27]
And the cider's laced with acid[00:01:30]
And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef[00:01:32]
And the moon is swimming naked[00:01:37]
And the summer night is fragrant[00:01:40]
With a mighty expectation of relief[00:01:42]
So we struggle and we stagger[00:01:47]
Down the snakes and up the ladder[00:01:50]
To the tower where the blessed hours chime[00:01:52]
And I swear it happened just like this[00:01:57]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:02:00]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:02:03]
I can't say much has happened since[00:02:05]
But Closing Time[00:02:08]
I swear it happened just like this[00:02:13]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:02:15]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:02:18]
I can't say much has happened since[00:02:20]
Closing Time[00:02:28]
I loved you for your beauty[00:02:38]
But that doesn't make a fool of me[00:02:40]
You were in it for your beauty too[00:02:43]
And I loved you for your body[00:02:48]
There's a voice that sounds like God to me[00:02:50]
Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you[00:02:53]
And I loved you when our love was blessed[00:03:03]
And I love you now there's nothing left[00:03:05]
But sorrow and a sense of overtime[00:03:08]
And I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:03:12]
And I just don't care what happens next[00:03:15]
Looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:03:18]
It's something in between I guess[00:03:20]
It's Closing Time[00:03:23]
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked[00:03:27]
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex[00:03:30]
Looks like freedom but it feels like death[00:03:33]
It's something in between I guess[00:03:35]
It's Closing Time[00:03:40]
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing[00:03:50]
But there's nothing really happening[00:03:52]
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night[00:03:55]
And my very close companion[00:04:00]
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing[00:04:02]
She's a hundred but she's wearing[00:04:05]
Something tight[00:04:07]
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth[00:04:10]
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth[00:04:13]
Except to say it isn't worth a dime[00:04:16]
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:04:20]
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ[00:04:23]
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights[00:04:25]
We're busted in the blinding lights[00:04:28]
Of Closing Time[00:04:30]
The whole damn place goes crazy twice[00:04:35]
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ[00:04:38]
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights[00:04:40]
We're busted in the blinding lights[00:04:43]
Busted in the blinding lights[00:04:48]
Of Closing Time[00:04:50]
Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots[00:05:00]
It's Closing Time[00:05:05]
And it's partner found it's partner lost[00:05:10]
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops[00:05:13]
It's Closing Time[00:05:16]
I swear it happened just like this[00:05:20]
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss[00:05:23]
It's Closing Time[00:05:25]
The Gates of Love they budged an inch[00:05:30]
I can't say much has happened since[00:05:33]
But Closing Time[00:05:35]
I loved you when our love was blessed[00:05:40]
I love you now there's nothing left[00:05:43]
But Closing Time[00:05:45]
I miss you since the place got wrecked[00:05:50]
