Lyrics Closing Time

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