Poems and Closing Time

Well, I've been over drinkin' 'Cause I've been overthinkin' 'Cause I get so damn anxious at night Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask "How you been?" And you just learn to say you're alright Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine I found it so hard to find truth Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine It'll always just be me and you And those bastards get richer While the poor dig ditches To bury their dreamin' in And labour don't cheat Baby, 5 a.m. is the reason they're sleepin' in Oh, men build churches So the kids find worth in Somethin' bigger than themselves But the uncorruptible don't exist And you can't buy your way outta Hell Closin' time I'm lost again past two Closin' time It'll always just be me and you And I've been over drinkin' 'Cause I've been overthinkin' 'Cause I get so damn anxious at night Chemicals and nicotine, friends ask me how I've been You just learn to say you're alright Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine I found it so hard to find truth Poems and closin' time, only true friend of mine It'll always just be me and you So don't try to pain me and don't try play me As one of your sorry fools Poems and closin' time, oh, sweet love of mine In a world that's growin' so cruel
