Lyrics Close the World at Five - Jimmy Buffett

Close the World at Five

After all the time we’ve shared together
After all the cotton candy fun is gone
I’d like to go back to being my own person
So close the world at five and then go home
Watch the maze of people walking proudly
The parade is every day for no one’s eyes
It’s just a game with sides, not even chosen
So I’ll close the world at five and say goodbye
Call me cold, call me bad, call me weird, call me sad
The fact of the matter is I love you
Call me in, call me out, call me weird, call me doubt
But flattery is said to get you nowhere
So we’ll leave together out the back door
Through a street that’s never seen in night or day
We’ll walk along together through the canyon
So let’s close the world at five and go away
So let’s close the world at five and go away
