[00:20.197]Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
[00:22.739]And the band is really happening
[00:25.124]And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
[00:30.188]And my very sweet companion
[00:32.620]She's the Angel of Compassion
[00:35.435]She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
[00:39.910]And every drinker every dancer
[00:42.524]Lifts a happy face to thank her
[00:45.467]The fiddler fiddles something so sublime
[00:50.69]All the women tear their blouses off
[00:52.933]And the men they dance on the polka-dots
[00:55.456]And it's partner found it's partner lost
[00:57.909]And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[01:00.768]It's Closing Time
[01:05.220]Yeah the women tear their blouses off
[01:07.939]And the men they dance on the polka-dots
[01:10.458]And it's partner found it's partner lost
[01:12.978]And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[01:17.896]It's Closing Time
[01:27.647]Ah we're lonely we're romantic
[01:30.277]And the cider's laced with acid
[01:32.964]And the Holy Spirit's crying Where's the beef
[01:37.477]And the moon is swimming naked
[01:40.20]And the summer night is fragrant
[01:42.650]With a mighty expectation of relief
[01:47.577]So we struggle and we stagger
[01:50.297]Down the snakes and up the ladder
[01:52.742]To the tower where the blessed hours chime
[01:57.833]And I swear it happened just like this
[02:00.565]A sigh a cry a hungry kiss
[02:03.340]The Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:05.558]I can't say much has happened since
[02:08.81]But Closing Time
[02:13.147]I swear it happened just like this
[02:15.499]A sigh a cry a hungry kiss
[02:18.321]The Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:20.574]I can't say much has happened since
[02:28.327]Closing Time
[02:38.22]I loved you for your beauty
[02:40.647]But that doesn't make a fool of me
[02:43.386]You were in it for your beauty too
[02:48.75]And I loved you for your body
[02:50.295]There's a voice that sounds like God to me
[02:53.124]Declaring declaring declaring that your body's really you
[03:03.167]And I loved you when our love was blessed
[03:05.593]And I love you now there's nothing left
[03:08.178]But sorrow and a sense of overtime
[03:12.961]And I missed you since the place got wrecked
[03:15.613]And I just don't care what happens next
[03:18.253]Looks like freedom but it feels like death
[03:20.609]It's something in between I guess
[03:23.165]It's Closing Time
[03:27.815]Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
[03:30.662]By the winds of change and the ****s of ***
[03:33.238]Looks like freedom but it feels like death
[03:35.644]It's something in between I guess
[03:40.482]It's Closing Time
[03:50.370]Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
[03:52.887]But there's nothing really happening
[03:55.458]And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
[04:00.160]And my very close companion
[04:02.908]Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
[04:05.398]She's a hundred but she's wearing
[04:07.939]Something tight
[04:10.773]And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
[04:13.195]Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
[04:16.14]Except to say it isn't worth a dime
[04:20.746]And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
[04:23.174]And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
[04:25.725]But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
[04:28.251]We're busted in the blinding lights
[04:30.754]Of Closing Time
[04:35.788]The whole damn place goes crazy twice
[04:38.200]And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
[04:40.692]But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
[04:43.252]We're busted in the blinding lights
[04:48.573]Busted in the blinding lights
[04:50.736]Of Closing Time
[05:00.825]Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on The polka-dots
[05:05.972]It's Closing Time
[05:10.491]And it's partner found it's partner lost
[05:13.347]And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[05:16.31]It's Closing Time
[05:20.854]I swear it happened just like this
[05:23.260]A sigh a cry a hungry kiss
[05:25.920]It's Closing Time
[05:30.916]The Gates of Love they budged an inch
[05:33.280]I can't say much has happened since
[05:35.909]But Closing Time
[05:40.906]I loved you when our love was blessed
[05:43.420]I love you now there's nothing left
[05:45.805]But Closing Time
[05:50.885]I miss you since the place got wrecked
