Closing Time

Closing time is closing in

Last call, the bar is 'gesloten'

Don't have to go home but you can't stay here

Stumble down the stairs into the streets again

Might be an answer here but I don't know

Gave up my sanity to save my soul

SMS from the afterlife there on my phone

Says "Relax while you're here and

Don't sweat the tomorrow"

Sometimes the money ain't coming in

Sometimes you forget why you're living

Sometimes you lose sometimes you win

Sometimes you give sometimes you get taken

Under the neon lights sweeping the floors

Pull up the chairs and wipe the bar down man

One last shot and you're out the door

And it's over

God knows but he just ain't tellin'

Why the devil gets to sleep while all the angels have to

Sing for a living in this off-key choir

Forgive my transgressions fulfill my desire

If I was with you I'd be home tonight

But you're so far away that I just stopped trying

Better off sailing on this sea of life

From one boat to the next

Sunk by a hurricane

Sometimes time just goes slipping by

Sometimes you can lose focus in life

But as you stumble out into the morning light

Well it's all right

Under the neon lights sweeping the floors

Pull up the chairs and wipe the bar down man

One last shot and you're out the door

And it's over
