[00:20]Ah were drinking and were dancing
[00:23]and the band is really happening
[00:25]and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
[00:30]And my very sweet companion
[00:33]shes the Angel of Compassion
[00:35]shes rubbing half the world against her thigh
[00:39]And every drinker every dancer
[00:43]lifts a happy face to thank her
[00:45]the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
[00:50]all the women tear their blouses off
[00:53]and the men they dance on the polka-dots
[00:56]and its partner found, its partner lost
[00:58]and its hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
[01:00]its CLOSING TIME
[01:02]
[01:05]Yeah the women tear their blouses off
[01:08]and the men they dance on the polka-dots
[01:10]and its partner found, its partner lost
[01:13]and its hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
[01:18]its CLOSING TIME
[01:20]
[01:27]Ah were lonely, were romantic
[01:30]and the ciders laced with acid
[01:33]and the Holy Spirits crying, "Wheres the beef?"
[01:38]And the moon is swimming naked
[01:40]and the summer night is fragrant
[01:42]with a mighty expectation of relief
[01:48]So we struggle and we stagger
[01:50]down the snakes and up the ladder
[01:53]to the tower where the blessed hours chime
[01:58]and I swear it happened just like this:
[02:01]a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[02:03]the Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:05]I cant say much has happened since
[02:08]but CLOSING TIME
[02:10]
[02:13]I swear it happened just like this:
[02:15]a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
[02:18]the Gates of Love they budged an inch
[02:20]I cant say much has happened since
[02:27]CLOSING TIME
[02:30]
[02:38]I loved you for your beauty
[02:40]but that doesnt make a fool of me:
[02:43]you were in it for your beauty too
[02:47]and I loved you for your body
[02:50]theres a voice that sounds like God to me
[02:53]declaring, declaring, declaring that your bodys really you
