Closing Time from Still by Larry Mindel
A song born of the anxieties of the last few years, with its muddled thinking, its empty streets - and its regressive politics.

Lyrics
Closing time, it’s closing time
Standing man in the contraflow
Headlights prowl, rumbling low
Collar turned to the thunder’s beat
In the slow lane of a grey dead-end street
Last call for lost souls
We’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way
It’s closing time, closing time
Shadow man with a bayonet
A fading ghost, the blood’s been let
The clock has stopped, the dark moon moans
The nighthawks wail and pick at bones
Last call for the last dance
We’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way
It’s closing time
Last call for lost souls
And we’ll be on our way tonight
We’ll be on our way
It’s closing time, it’s closing time
It’s closing time, it’s closing time
