| [00:20.20] |
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [00:22.74] |
And the band is really happening |
| [00:25.12] |
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high |
| [00:29.18] |
|
| [00:30.19] |
And my very sweet companion |
| [00:32.62] |
She's the Angel of Compassion |
| [00:35.44] |
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh |
| [00:39.15] |
|
| [00:39.91] |
And every drinker every dancer |
| [00:42.52] |
Lifts a happy face to thank her |
| [00:45.47] |
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime |
| [00:48.99] |
|
| [00:50.07] |
All the women tear their blouses off |
| [00:52.93] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [00:55.46] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [00:57.91] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:00.77] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:02.47] |
|
| [01:05.22] |
Yeah the women tear their blouses off |
| [01:07.94] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [01:10.46] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [01:12.98] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:15.83] |
|
| [01:17.90] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:20.98] |
|
| [01:27.65] |
Ah we're lonely we're romantic |
| [01:30.28] |
And the cider's laced with acid |
| [01:32.96] |
And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef |
| [01:36.57] |
|
| [01:37.48] |
And the moon is swimming naked |
| [01:40.02] |
And the summer night is fragrant |
| [01:42.65] |
With a mighty expectation of relief |
| [01:47.03] |
|
| [01:47.58] |
So we struggle and we stagger |
| [01:50.30] |
Down the snakes and up the ladder |
| [01:52.74] |
To the tower where the blessed hours chime |
| [01:56.84] |
|
| [01:57.83] |
And I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:00.57] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:03.34] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:05.56] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:08.08] |
But Closing Time |
| [02:09.95] |
|
| [02:13.15] |
I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:15.50] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:18.32] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:20.57] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:23.57] |
|
| [02:28.33] |
Closing Time |
| [02:38.02] |
I loved you for your beauty |
| [02:40.65] |
But that doesn't make a fool of me |
| [02:43.39] |
You were in it for your beauty too |
| [02:46.80] |
|
| [02:48.07] |
And I loved you for your body |
| [02:50.29] |
There's a voice that sounds like God to me |
| [02:53.12] |
Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you |
| [03:03.17] |
And I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [03:05.59] |
And I love you now there's nothing left |
| [03:08.18] |
But sorrow and a sense of overtime |
| [03:11.26] |
|
| [03:12.96] |
And I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:15.61] |
And I just don't care what happens next |
| [03:18.25] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:20.61] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:23.16] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:26.84] |
|
| [03:27.82] |
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:30.66] |
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex |
| [03:33.24] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:35.64] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:38.53] |
|
| [03:40.48] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:43.32] |
|
| [03:50.37] |
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [03:52.89] |
But there's nothing really happening |
| [03:55.46] |
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night |
| [03:59.40] |
|
| [04:00.16] |
And my very close companion |
| [04:02.91] |
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing |
| [04:05.40] |
She's a hundred but she's wearing |
| [04:07.94] |
Something tight |
| [04:09.38] |
|
| [04:10.77] |
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth |
| [04:13.20] |
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth |
| [04:16.01] |
Except to say it isn't worth a dime |
| [04:19.55] |
|
| [04:20.75] |
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:23.17] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:25.73] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:28.25] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:30.75] |
Of Closing Time |
| [04:32.65] |
|
| [04:35.79] |
The whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:38.20] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:40.69] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:43.25] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:46.18] |
|
| [04:48.57] |
Busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:50.74] |
Of Closing Time |
| [04:55.04] |
|
| [05:00.83] |
Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots |
| [05:05.97] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:09.47] |
|
| [05:10.49] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [05:13.35] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [05:16.03] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:19.55] |
|
| [05:20.85] |
I swear it happened just like this |

A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [05:25.92] |
It's Closing Time |

|
| [05:30.92] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [05:33.28] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [05:35.91] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:39.66] |
|
| [05:40.91] |
I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [05:43.42] |
I love you now there's nothing left |
| [05:45.80] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:49.75] |
|
| [05:50.89] |
I miss you since the place got wrecked |
