[00:19.50]Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
[00:22.50]and the band is really happening
[00:24.50]and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
[00:29.50]And my very sweet companion
[00:32.50]she's the Angel of Compassion
[00:34.50]she's rubbing half the world against her thigh
[00:38.50]And every drinker every dancer
[00:42.50]lifts a happy face to thank her
[00:44.50]the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
[00:49.50]all the women tear their blouses off
[00:52.50]and the men they dance on the polka-dots
[00:55.50]and it's partner found, it's partner lost
[00:57.50]and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
[00:59.50]it's CLOSING TIME
[01:01.50]
[01:04.50]Yeah the women tear their blouses off
[01:07.50]and the men they dance on the polka-dots
[01:09.50]and it's partner found, it's partner lost
[01:12.50]and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
[01:17.50]it's CLOSING TIME
[01:19.50]
[01:26.50]Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
[01:29.50]and the cider's laced with acid
[01:32.50]and the Holy Spirit's crying, \"Where's the beef?\"
[01:37.50]And the moon is swimming naked
[01:39.50]and the summer night is fragrant
[01:41.50]with a mighty expectation of relief
[01:47.50]So we struggle and we stagger
[01:49.50]down the snakes and up the ladder
[01:52.50]to the tower where the blessed hours chime
[01:57.50]and I swear it happened just like this:
[02:00.50]a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[02:02.50]the Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:04.50]I can't say much has happened since
[02:07.50]but CLOSING TIME
[02:09.50]
[02:12.50]I swear it happened just like this:
[02:14.50]a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[02:17.50]the Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:19.50]I can't say much has happened since
[02:26.50]CLOSING TIME
[02:29.50]
[02:37.50]I loved you for your beauty
[02:39.50]but that doesn't make a fool of me:
[02:42.50]you were in it for your beauty too
[02:46.50]and I loved you for your body
[02:49.50]there's a voice that sounds like God to me
[02:52.50]declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
[03:02.50]And I loved you when our love was blessed
[03:04.50]and I love you now there's nothing left
[03:07.50]but sorrow and a sense of overtime
[03:11.50]and I missed you since the place got wrecked
[03:15.50]And I just don't care what happens next
[03:17.50]looks like freedom but it feels like death
[03:19.50]it's something in between, I guess
[03:22.50]it's CLOSING TIME
[03:24.50]
[03:27.50]Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
[03:30.50]By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
[03:32.50]looks like freedom but it feels like death
[03:34.50]it's something in between, I guess
[03:39.50]it's CLOSING TIME
[03:43.50]
[03:49.50]Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
[03:52.50]but there's nothing really happening
[03:54.50]and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
[03:58.50]And my very close companion
[04:02.50]gets me fumbling gets me laughing
[04:05.50]she's a hundred but she's wearing
[04:06.50]something tight
[04:10.50]and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
[04:12.50]which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
[04:15.50]except to say it isn't worth a dime
[04:19.50]And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
[04:22.50]and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
[04:24.50]but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
[04:26.50]we're busted in the blinding lights,
[04:27.50]busted in the blinding lights
[04:30.50]of CLOSING TIME
[04:32.50]
[04:34.50]The whole damn place goes crazy twice
[04:37.50]and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
[04:40.50]but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
[04:42.50]we're busted in the blinding lights,
[04:47.50]busted in the blinding lights
[04:49.50]of CLOSING TIME
[04:51.50]
[05:00.50]Oh the women tear their blouses off
[05:03.50]and the men they dance on the polka-dots
[05:05.50]It's CLOSING TIME
[05:09.50]And it's partner found, it's partner lost
[05:12.50]and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[05:15.50]It's CLOSING TIME
[05:20.50]I swear it happened just like this:
[05:22.50]a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[05:25.50]It's CLOSING TIME
[05:29.50]The Gates of Love they budged an inch
[05:32.50]I can't say much has happened since
[05:34.50]But CLOSING TIME
[05:40.50]I loved you when our love was blessed
[05:42.50]I love you now there's nothing left
[05:45.50]But CLOSING TIME
[05:50.50]I miss you since the place got wrecked
