[Verse 1]

Tell me who'll be left to cry

As the funeral passes by

The Statue of Liberty as she’s crumblin'?

Will we make her dyin' bed

And place a wreath upon her head

And say it was bound to happen sooner or later?

[Chorus]

Well the curtain’s goin' down

And the feel of an old ghost town

Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around

Well the world ain't worth a dime

When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime

I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 2]

How can a bluebird sing

In the middle of a spring

With a broken heart of interfered direction?

How can a dewdrop fall

On a mountain once so tall

That's been covered with a blanket of deception?

[Chorus]

Well the curtain’s goin’ down

And the feel of an old ghost town

Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around

Well the world ain’t worth a dime

When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime

I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 3]

In the middle of a dream

I heard the helpless children scream

As they walk the plank of a disengaged tomorrow

Though we know the graves are dug

It’s been swept beneath the rug

But no more time will there be left to borrow

[Chorus]

Well the curtain's goin' down

And the feel of an old ghost town

Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around

Well the world ain't worth a dime

When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime

I think then we'll know it's closin' time

[Verse 4]

The testimony's read

And the last regards are said

While victorious moss is a formin' in the alley

The master's with the king

In the center of the ring

While the bugle sounds the doomsday grand finale

[Chorus]

Well the curtain's goin' down

And the feel of an old ghost town

Will soon make the clock quit turnin' around

Well the world ain't worth a dime

When the Liberty Bell has ceased its chime

I think then we'll know it's closin' time
