| [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 |
