Lyrics for Closer You Are

(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...
