| [00:20.570] |
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [00:22.630] |
And the band is really happening |
| [00:25.450] |
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high |
| [00:30.569] |
And my very sweet companion |
| [00:31.228] |
She's the Angel of Compassion |
| [00:33.538] |
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh |
| [00:38.698] |
And every drinker every dancer |
| [00:43.880] |
Lifts a happy face to thank her |
| [00:45.418] |
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime |
| [00:48.228] |
All the women tear their blouses off |
| [00:53.798] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [00:55.598] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [00:58.700] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:01.108] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:02.798] |
Yeah the women tear their blouses off |
| [01:08.080] |
And the men they dance on the polka-dots |
| [01:10.539] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [01:13.690] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [01:16.800] |
It's Closing Time |
| [01:20.179] |
Ah we're lonely we're romantic |
| [01:29.638] |
And the cider's laced with acid |
| [01:32.087] |
And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef |
| [01:36.048] |
And the moon is swimming naked |
| [01:40.179] |
And the summer night is fragrant |
| [01:42.398] |
With a mighty expectation of relief |
| [01:45.208] |
So we struggle and we stagger |
| [01:50.689] |
Down the snakes and up the ladder |
| [01:52.638] |
To the tower where the blessed hours chime |
| [01:55.509] |
And I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:00.558] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:03.049] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:06.240] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:08.110] |
But Closing Time |
| [02:09.900] |
I swear it happened just like this |
| [02:15.560] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [02:18.060] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [02:21.500] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [02:23.800] |
Closing Time |
| [02:29.120] |
I loved you for your beauty |
| [02:40.500] |
But that doesn't make a fool of me |
| [02:43.400] |
You were in it for your beauty too |
| [02:46.250] |
And I loved you for your body |
| [02:50.800] |
There's a voice that sounds like God to me |
| [02:52.800] |
Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you |
| [03:01.160] |
And I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [03:05.900] |
And I love you now there's nothing left |
| [03:08.200] |
But sorrow and a sense of overtime |
| [03:11.150] |
And I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:15.700] |
And I just don't care what happens next |
| [03:18.070] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:20.629] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:23.129] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:25.090] |
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked |
| [03:31.000] |
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex |
| [03:33.300] |
Looks like freedom but it feels like death |
| [03:35.610] |
It's something in between I guess |
| [03:37.290] |
It's Closing Time |
| [03:42.470] |
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing |
| [03:52.460] |
But there's nothing really happening |
| [03:55.200] |
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night |
| [03:59.000] |
And my very close companion |
| [04:02.570] |
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing |
| [04:05.060] |
She's a hundred but she's wearing |
| [04:07.560] |
Something tight |
| [04:08.900] |
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth |
| [04:13.300] |
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth |
| [04:15.560] |
Except to say it isn't worth a dime |
| [04:19.500] |
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:23.180] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:26.040] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:28.230] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:30.720] |
Of Closing Time |
| [04:32.040] |
The whole damn place goes crazy twice |
| [04:38.200] |
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ |
| [04:41.100] |
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights |
| [04:43.020] |
We're busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:45.080] |
Busted in the blinding lights |
| [04:52.630] |
Of Closing Time |
| [04:54.250] |
Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots |
| [05:05.900] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:07.800] |
And it's partner found it's partner lost |
| [05:13.220] |
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops |
| [05:15.720] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:18.900] |
I swear it happened just like this |
| [05:23.500] |
A sigh a cry a hungry kiss |
| [05:26.100] |
It's Closing Time |
| [05:29.600] |
The Gates of Love they budged an inch |
| [05:33.500] |
I can't say much has happened since |
| [05:35.440] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:39.500] |
I loved you when our love was blessed |
| [05:42.750] |
I love you now there's nothing left |
| [05:45.750] |
But Closing Time |
| [05:48.900] |
I miss you since the place got wrecked |
