Closing Time Lyrics by Ian Freud

2020

We were so busy being happy
We didn’t notice we were sad
Oh well. I guess it’s just too bad

We were so happy to be young
We didn’t notice we got old
Is it just me, or is it getting cold?

Did someone turn the light off?
Or is it closing time?

We were so busy playing rich
We never noticed we were poor
All to keep up with the Jones next door

We were too busy making friends
To realisе we were alonе
And living a lie, through the screen of a phone

Would someone turn the light off
Now it’s closing time

Time tells the truth and never lies
(Time is passing you by)
We’re all marking time till closing time
Is there any point in going on
If everything you do and everything you knew is wrong

We were all caught up in the future
We didn’t notice that the past
Had caught up to us, because nothing can last

We were so busy painting rainbows
That we didn’t notice when the sky
Broke into two and started to cry

Would someone turn the light off?
I think it’s closing time

It’s closing time
Isn’t it time that you found out what makes a man?
Are you a man, are you a man, are you a man?
