What's this song about?

1
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
2
And the band is really happening
3
And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
4
And my very sweet companion
5
She's the Angel of Compassion
6
She's rubbing half the world against her thigh
7
And every drinker every dancer
8
Lifts a happy face to thank her
9
The fiddler fiddles something so sublime
10
All the women tear their blouses off
11
And the men they dance on the polka-dots
12
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
13
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
14
It's closing time
15
Yeah the women tear their blouses off
16
And the men they dance on the polka-dots
17
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
18
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
19
It's closing time
20
Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
21
And the cider's laced with acid
22
And the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
23
And the moon is swimming naked
24
And the summer night is fragrant
25
With a mighty expectation of relief
26
So we struggle and we stagger
27
Down the snakes and up the ladder
28
To the tower where the blessed hours chime
29
And I swear it happened just like this:
30
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
31
The Gates of Love they budged an inch
32
I can't say much has happened since
33
But closing time
34
I swear it happened just like this:
35
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
36
The Gates of Love they budged an inch
37
I can't say much has happened since
38
Closing time
39
I loved you for your beauty
40
But that doesn't make a fool of me:
41
You were in it for your beauty too
42
And I loved you for your body
43
There's a voice that sounds like God to me
44
Declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
45
And I loved you when our love was blessed
46
And I love you now there's nothing left
47
But sorrow and a sense of overtime
48
And I missed you since the place got wrecked
49
And I just don't care what happens next
50
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
51
It's something in between, I guess
52
It's closing time
53
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
54
By the winds of change and the weeds of s**
55
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
56
It's something in between, I guess
57
It's closing time
58
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
59
But there's nothing really happening
60
And the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
61
And my very close companion
62
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
63
She's a hundred but she's wearing
64
Something tight
65
And I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
66
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
67
Except to say it isn't worth a dime
68
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
69
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
70
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
71
We're busted in the blinding lights,
72
Busted in the blinding lights
73
Of closing time
74
The whole damn place goes crazy twice
75
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
76
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
77
We're busted in the blinding lights,
78
Busted in the blinding lights
79
Of closing time
80
Oh the women tear their blouses off
81
And the men they dance on the polka-dots
82
It's closing time
83
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
84
And it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
85
It's closing time
86
I swear it happened just like this:
87
A sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
88
It's closing time
89
The Gates of Love they budged an inch
90
I can't say much has happened since
91
But closing time
92
I loved you when our love was blessed
93
I love you now there's nothing left
94
But closing time
95
I miss you since the place got wrecked
96
By the winds of change and the weeds of s**.
