[00:21.57]So were drinking and were dancing
[00:23.88]And the band is really happening
[00:26.31]And the johnny walker wisdom running high
[00:31.37]And my very sweet companion
[00:33.17]Shes the angel of compassion
[00:36.41]And shes rubbing half the world against her thigh
[00:40.66]Every drinker every dancer
[00:43.42]Lifts a happy face to thank her
[00:46.37]And the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
[00:51.21]All the women tear their blouses off
[00:54.07]The men they dance on the polka-dots
[00:56.33]And its partner found and partner lost
[00:58.95]And its hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[01:01.37]Its closing time
[01:03.71]
[01:29.18]Were lonely, were romantic
[01:30.99]And the ciders laced with acid
[01:33.45]And the holy spirits crying, wheres the beef?
[01:38.68]And the moon is swimming naked
[01:40.68]And the summer night is fragrant
[01:43.24]With a mighty expectation of relief
[01:45.87]So we struggle and we stagger
[01:50.88]Down the snakes and up the ladder
[01:53.27]To the tower where the blessed hours chime
[01:58.47]And I swear it happened just like this
[02:01.42]A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[02:04.48]The gates of love they budged an inch
[02:06.78]I cant say much has happened since
[02:08.72]But closing time
[02:10.49]
[02:39.15]I loved you for your beauty
[02:41.34]But that doesnt make a fool of me
[02:44.53]You were in it for your beauty too
[02:47.07]I loved you for your body
[02:51.20]Theres a voice that sounds like God to me
[02:54.44]Declaring that your bodys really you
[03:02.00]I loved you when our love was blessed
[03:07.17]And I love you now theres nothing left
[03:14.16]But sorrow and a sense of overtime
[03:15.91]And I miss you since the place got wrecked
[03:17.35]By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
[03:19.90]Looks like freedom but it feels like death
[03:39.13]It something in betwen, I guess
[03:41.74]Its closing time
[03:53.93]Were drinking and were dancing
[03:55.19]But theres nothing really happening
[03:56.42]The place is dead as heaven on a saturday night
[03:59.29]And my very close companion
[04:03.80]Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
[04:06.05]Shes a hundred but shes wearing
[04:07.74]Something tight
[04:11.72]I lift my glass to the awful truth
[04:14.22]Which you cant reveal to the ears of youth
[04:16.90]Except to say it isnt worth a dime
[04:21.85]And the whole dam place goes crazy twice
[04:24.53]And its once for the dvil and its once for christ
[04:27.91]
[04:29.47]But the boss dont like these dizzy heights
[04:30.60]Were busted in the blinding lights
[04:33.72]Of closing time
