Closer You Are

(album: Alien Lanes - 1995)

Chain smoke rings like a vapor snake kiss
She says she don't know why
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
Closer you are, the quicker it hits you

Now you can see the boys dreaming
Scheming

You play the heavy
It's a real slick movie move
"Stoned at the Alamo" tonight
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
Try to be nice and look what it gets you

Now you can see the boys dreaming
Scheming

I get up at seven o'clock
And drive myself up to the Lookout Rock
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you

Now you can see the boys dreaming
Scheming

The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
The closer you are, the quicker it hits you
The closer you are
