that we dropped a little acid
just enough to kill a rabbit
and the visions were ecstatic
and no one ever noticed that
          it's Closing Time

Nobody ever noticed that
          it's closing time

the women tear their sweaters off
the men go dancing on the polka-dots

somebody better call the cops
          it Closing Time

I love her desperately & then

I want to bust his fiddle in
I want the Angel back again
I'm struggling with a hundred men
I love her desperately & then

the women tear their sweaters off
the ?? forgives the cops

we all know when the music stops
          it's Closing Time

and the whole damn place
          goes crazy twice
one for the devil and one for Christ
but the Boss don't like
          these dizzy heights
and we're busted in the
blinding lights
          of Closing Time

tho the gulf has opened wide
I'll love you with a love denied

but the Boss don't buy
          these dizzy flights

We're lonely & romantic
but the Holy Spirit's frantic
and she's asking everybody
          "Where's the beef"

And the moon is round and naked
and the summer night is fragrant
with a mighty expectation
          of relief

it's just too late to start again
with a heavy heart

We dropped a little acid

I loved you when
          our house was
                    wreck

by the winds of change

          and we ?? with sex

I loved you when our house was wrecked

by the winds of change

          and the wilds of sex

I loved you

I don't recall what happened next

          I guess
          it's Closing Time

I loved you when the place
          was wrecked
by the winds of change
          & the (schools) wilds of sex

& it feels like freedom & it feels
          like death
but its something in between
          I guess
          it's Closing Time

I slipped against her tilted lips

I swear it happened
          just like this
She changed the angle
          of her hips
The gates of love
          they budged an inch
and nothing much
          has happened since
          but Closing Time

a light came ??
          from her lips

Don't anybody tell the Boss

When it looks like fun & it feels like death
it's something in between I guess
          its Closing Time

I'd say that nothing much has happened
          since

We drinking & we're dancing
and ?? nothing really happening

endless distance & a sense of overtime

I'd say that nothing's happened
          since
          but

and it's hell on earth when the

          it's Closing Time.

I can't say much has
          happened since
the fiddler shows her
          something so
