| [00:20.197] |
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [00:22.739] |
And the band is really happening |
| [00:25.124] |
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high |
| [00:30.188] |
And my very sweet companion |
| [00:32.620] |
She's the Angel of Compassion |
| [00:35.435] |
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh |
| [00:39.910] |
And every drinker every dancer |
| [00:42.524] |
Lifts a happy face to thank her |
| [00:45.467] |
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime |
| [00:50.69] |
All the women tear their blouses off |
| [00:52.933] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [00:55.456] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [00:57.909] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:00.768] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:05.220] |
Yeah the women tear their blouses off |
| [01:07.939] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [01:10.458] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [01:12.978] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:17.896] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:27.647] |
Ah we're lonely we're romantic |
| [01:30.277] |
And the cider's laced with acid |
| [01:32.964] |
And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef |
| [01:37.477] |
And the moon is swimming naked |
| [01:40.20] |
And the summer night is fragrant |
| [01:42.650] |
With a mighty expectation of relief |
| [01:47.577] |
So we struggle and we stagger |
| [01:50.297] |
Down the snakes and up the ladder |
| [01:52.742] |
To the tower where the blessed hours chime |
| [01:57.833] |
And I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:00.565] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:03.340] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:05.558] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:08.81] |
But Closing Time |
| [02:13.147] |
I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:15.499] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:18.321] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:20.574] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:28.327] |
Closing Time |
| [02:38.22] |
I loved you for your beauty |
| [02:40.647] |
But that doesn't make a fool of me |
| [02:43.386] |
You were in it for your beauty too |
| [02:48.75] |
And I loved you for your body |
| [02:50.295] |
There's a voice that sounds like God to me |
| [02:53.124] |
Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you |
| [03:03.167] |
And I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [03:05.593] |
And I love you now there's nothing left |
| [03:08.178] |
But sorrow and a sense of overtime |
| [03:12.961] |
And I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:15.613] |
And I just don't care what happens next |
| [03:18.253] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:20.609] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:23.165] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:27.815] |
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:30.662] |
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex |
| [03:33.238] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:35.644] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:40.482] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:50.370] |
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [03:52.887] |
But there's nothing really happening |
| [03:55.458] |
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night |
| [04:00.160] |
And my very close companion |
| [04:02.908] |
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing |
| [04:05.398] |
She's a hundred but she's wearing |
| [04:07.939] |
Something tight |
| [04:10.773] |
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth |
| [04:13.195] |
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth |
| [04:16.14] |
Except to say it isn't worth a dime |
| [04:20.746] |
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:23.174] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:25.725] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:28.251] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:30.754] |
Of Closing Time |
| [04:35.788] |
The whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:38.200] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:40.692] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:43.252] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:48.573] |
Busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:50.736] |
Of Closing Time |
| [05:00.825] |
Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots |
| [05:05.972] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:10.491] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [05:13.347] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [05:16.31] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:20.854] |
I swear it happened just like this |
| [05:23.260] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [05:25.920] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:30.916] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [05:33.280] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [05:35.909] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:40.906] |
I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [05:43.420] |
I love you now there's nothing left |
| [05:45.805] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:50.885] |
I miss you since the place got wrecked |
