Guard gate rattles
Rap music vibrates
Engines humming
Shaking me awake
It must be closing time

Dancing til dawn
Straight to the office
No time for sleep
What madness is this?
Staying up past closing time

Working in the City
When I was young
Early bird breakfast next door
Night shift drinking beer and rum
There is no closing time
