I've been overdrinking 'Cause I've been overthinking 'Cause I get so damn anxious at night Chemicals and nicotine Friends ask how you'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 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 dreaming in And labor done cheap At five AM Is the reason they're sleeping in Oh men build churches So the kids find worth in Something bigger than themselves But the uncorruptible Don't exist And you can't buy your way outta hell Closing time I'm lost again past two Closing time It'll always just be me and you I've been overdrinking 'Cause I've been overthinking '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 pay me And don't try to 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
