Closing Time
By David Snyder

V1

I like you in that white dress
the one from the Civil War
It seems we’re living backwards
And ghosts come through these doors
I may have lost my mind
Cause I don’t know where I am
To be completely honestly
I do not give a damn

V2

I been reading Dylan Thomas
And I just might change my name
If I’m not tangled up in blue
I’ll come in like a Hurricane
I was born on Ellis Island
In the early morning rain
My guitar is built with coffin nails
And  I’ll sing anything

CH 1

So tell me
Is everybody fine
Go ahead and be honest
Is it closing time

V3

Push the boat into the water
Push away from the shore
We’ll sail to any place you like
I can’t take it here no more
Are we dying out
Have we reached the end
Who do I confess to
Have we really sinned

CH 2

Am I staring at the ceiling
Or am I looking at the floor
You know I have  this feeling
Don’t want to live round here no more
So tell me
Is everybody fine
Oh please be honest
Is it closing time

So tell me
Does this really need to rhyme
Go ahead and be honest
Is it closing time

V4

I like you in that white dress
the one from the Civil War
It seems we’re living backwards
And ghosts come through these doors
I may have lost my mind
Cause I don’t know where I am
To be completely honestly
I just don't give a damn

CH 

So go ahead tell me
Is everybody fine
Please be honest
Is it closing time
