(R. Pollard)



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...
