Closing Time

Lazy trip to heaven on the wings of your love
Banana moon is shining in the sky,
Feel like i'm in heaven when you're with me
Know that i'm in heaven when you smile,
Though we're stuck here on the ground,
I got something that i've found
And it's you.

And i don't have to take no trip to outer space
All i have to do is look at your face,
And before i know it, i'm in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that i've found you,
When i see your constellation,
Honey, you're my inspiration,
And it's you.

You're my north star when i'm lost and feeling blue,
The sun is breaking through the clouds
Don't you, don't you know it's true?
Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you
Thanking my lucky stars that i've found you,
When i see your smiling face, honey,
I know nothing ever going to take your place,
And it's you.

And it's you, and it's you,
And it's you, and it's you, and it's you
And it's you, and it's you, shoo-be-doo, ba-da-da.

Well i'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

And the moon's all up, full and big,
Apricot tips in an indigo sky,
And i've been loving you, rosie,
Since the day i was born
And i'll love you, rosie 'til the day i die.
Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

Rosie, why do you evade? rosie,
How can i persuade? rosie...

And i'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade?
Rosie, how can i persuade? rosie...

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely eyes,
Lonely face, lonely lonely in your place.
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely face,
Lonely lonely in your place.

I thought that i knew all that there was to,
Lonely, lonely, lonely...

Melanie jane, won't feel the pain.
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely eyes,
Lonely lonely in your place.

And i thought that i knew all that there was to
Lonely, lonely, lonely eyes, lonely eyes,
Lonely lonely in your place, and
I still love you, i still love you,
Lonely, lonely...

Well i hope that i don't fall in love with you
'cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
Your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now i hear you
Calling out for me
And i hope that i don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And i wonder, should i offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
Take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And i hope that i don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well i turn around to look at you,
You light a cigarette,
I wish i had the guts to bum one,
But we've never met,
And i hope that i don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well i turn around to look at you,
And you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
The chair next to you's free,
And i hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, i'll have another stout.
Well i turn around to look at you,
You're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
Guess i'll have another round
And i think that i just fell in love with you.

Well, i'm walking on down virginia avenue
Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to.
Harold's club is closing,

And everybody's going on home:
What's a poor boy to do?

I'll just get on back into my short,
Make it back to the fort
Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain.
There's got to be some place
That's better than this
This life i'm leading's driving me insane

And let me tell you i'm dreaming...

Let me tell you that
I'm dreaming to the twilight,
This town has got me down.
I've seen all the highlights,
I've been walking all around
I won't make a fuss, i'll take a greyhound bus,
Carry me away from here:
Tell me, what have i got to lose?

'cause i'm walking on down columbus avenue
The bars are all closing,
'cause it's quarter to two
Every town i go to is like a lock without a key
Those i leave behind are catching up on me,
Let me tell you they're catching up on me,
They're catching up on me
Catching up on me, catching up on me,
Catching up on me.

I'll be clickin' by your house about two forty-five
Sidewalk sundae strawberry surprise,
I got a cherry popsicle right on time
A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind

'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band (yeah)
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.

Baby, missed me in the alley, baby, don't you fret
Come back around and don't forget,
When you're tired and you're hungry
And you want something cool,
Got something better than a swimming pool

'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.
'cause i'm the ice cream man,
I'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey,
I'll be good to you.

See me coming, you ain't got no change
Don't worry baby, it can be arranged:
Show me you can smile, baby just for me
Fix you with a drumstick, i'll do it for free

'cause i'm the ice cream man, i'm a one-man band
I'm the ice cream man, honey, i'll be good to you.
Be good to you, be good to you,
Good to you yeah, good to you yeah,
Good to you yeah, good to you yeah,
Good to you yeah, good to you,
'll be good to you, i'll be good to you...
