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 closing time, oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing 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 labor 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 closing time, oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing 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 closing time, oh, sweet love of mine
In a world that´s growing so cruel
