Lyrics:
So we're drinking and we're dancingAnd the band is really happeningAnd the johnny walker wisdom running highAnd my very sweet companionShe's the angel of compassionAnd she's rubbing half the world against her thighEvery drinker every dancerLifts a happy face to thank herAnd the fiddler fiddles something so sublimeAll the women tear their blouses offThe men they dance on the polka-dotsAnd it's partner found and partner lostAnd it's hell to pay when the fiddler stopsIt's closing timeWe're lonely, we're romanticAnd the cider's laced with acidAnd the holy spirit's crying, 'where's the beef? 'And the moon is swimming nakedAnd the summer night is fragrantWith a mighty expectation of reliefSo we struggle and we staggerDown the snakes and up the ladderTo the tower where the blessed hours chimeAnd I swear it happened just like thisA sigh, a cry, a hungry kissThe gates of love they budged an inchI can't say much has happened sinceBut closing timeI loved you for your beautyBut that doesn't make a fool of meYou were in it for your beauty tooI loved you for your bodyThere's a voice that sounds like God to meDeclaring that your body's really youI loved you when our love was blessedAnd I love you now there's nothing leftBut sorrow and a sense of overtimeAnd I miss you since the place got wreckedBy the winds of change and the weeds of sexLooks like freedom but it feels like deathIt something in betwen, I guessIt's closing timeWe're drinking and we're dancingBut there's nothing really happeningThe place is dead as heaven on a saturday nightAnd my very close companionGets me fumbling gets me laughingShe's a hundred but she's wearingSomething tightI lift my glass to the awful truthWhich you can't reveal to the ears of youthExcept to say it isn't worth a dimeAnd the whole dam place goes crazy twiceAnd it's once for the dvil and it's once for christBut the boss don't like these dizzy heightsWe're busted in the blinding lightsOf closing time
