lyrics
Close up Shop
I did my best, I passed the test
Think I did better than the rest
But I guess I must be doing something wrong
You loved me fast, your love didn’t last
Guess all good things are bound to pass
Or in the end it wasn’t all that strong
I think black and you think white
One of us is wrong, one of us is right
This ain’t healthy, I know that we’re through
Or I think white and you think black
We’re a’waitin for the next attack
I think I’ve figured out what I’ve got to do
Close up shop, lock up the gate
Ain’t gonna hesitate
If I do this, I know I’ll be just fine
I swear to the good Lord above
That I will never fall in love
This here was my last and final time
I’m not gonna fall in love
Not gonna fall in love
With nobody, anymore
I could crawl back to you with new testament
With gold and myrrh and frankincense
And tell you things I know you wouldn’t believe
I know you think that I’m a bore
When I sacrifice my life for yours
So, how’s my religious heart to be deceived?
Well, I’ve got a friend, he lives alone
He’s an angel-man, a’rollin stones
Says he’s got a little something up his sleeves
Says he knows a way out of this
From the land of Hell to the land of Bliss
Think I know what I’ll do to be relieved
Not gonna fall in love
Not gonna fall in love
With nobody, anymore
Well you can botch it all, cross-check yourself
Scotch your drink and wreck your health
And you can join the legions of the grieved
Hide your face all beat and torn
Reject your faith, remain unborn
Cut the knot in pieces misconceived
Close up shop, lock up the gate
Never stop to complicate
By doing this, you know you’ll be just fine
Swear to the good Lord above
That you will never fall in love
That this here was the last and final time
Not gonna fall in love
Not gonna fall in love
With nobody, anymore...
