Closing Time

So were drinking and were dancing And the band is really happening And the johnny walker wisdom running high And my very sweet companion Shes the angel of compassion And shes rubbing half the world against her thigh Every drinker every dancer Lifts a happy face to thank her And the fiddler fiddles something so sublime All the women tear their blouses off The men they dance on the polka-dots And its partner found and partner lost And its hell to pay when the fiddler stops Its closing time Were lonely, were romantic And the ciders laced with acid And the holy spirits crying, wheres the beef? And the moon is swimming naked And the summer night is fragrant With a mighty expectation of relief So we struggle and we stagger Down the snakes and up the ladder To the tower where the blessed hours chime And I swear it happened just like this A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss The gates of love they budged an inch I cant say much has happened since But closing time I loved you for your beauty But that doesnt make a fool of me You were in it for your beauty too I loved you for your body Theres a voice that sounds like God to me Declaring that your bodys really you I loved you when our love was blessed And I love you now theres nothing left But sorrow and a sense of overtime And I miss you since the place got wrecked By the winds of change and the weeds of sex Looks like freedom but it feels like death It something in betwen, I guess Its closing time Were drinking and were dancing But theres nothing really happening The place is dead as heaven on a saturday night And my very close companion Gets me fumbling gets me laughing Shes a hundred but shes wearing Something tight I lift my glass to the awful truth Which you cant reveal to the ears of youth Except to say it isnt worth a dime And the whole dam place goes crazy twice And its once for the dvil and its once for christ But the boss dont like these dizzy heights Were busted in the blinding lights Of closing time
