Lyrics

[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
