Closing Up

It's cold out here mother What you doing to me This isn't my idea of good company It seems like i've heard everything i need to have heard But i still don't understand a word The humour here is dry I don't get the joke I seem to attract the weirdest folk Our minds are of the same kind, They're tired and worn We were born in a strange time to be born Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind And the day-time grind And the finding strength And the first light of morning And before i risk All that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, i'm closing up Well i drink another drink But i pace my self If i want a good life I must take care of my health Think about tomorrow Tie up all the loose ends Never forget who are my real friends. Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind And the day-time grind And the finding strength And the first light of morning And before i risk All that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, i'm closing up Did you here about the man Who wrote the story of his life On the back of his hand He gotta start his life over again Look round for someone to blame When it all got washed up in the rain He gotta start his life over again Closing up on reasoning Closing up on the middle ground Into the night-time mind And the day-time grind And the finding strength And the first light of morning And before i risk All that to relying on luck I'm closing Closing up, i'm closing up
