lyrics

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 realise we were alone
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
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?

Idiot. Plainly too old, bald, fat and out of touch for this. Pay in pies and you have me for life.
