Lyrics

The Whores Are Closing In

The whores are closing in

And there ain’t enough to drink tonight

The whores are closing in

Did we meet in Mexico

The whores are closing in

And they're wading on their knees right now

The whores are closing in

Let's lean against the bar

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray

I'm ready

I've got lust for life

I'm ready

For a fight tonight

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

I'm ready

I could give a damn

I'm ready

I’ve got no real plans

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

The whores are closing in

You can hang out if you want tonight

The whores are closing in

Like nineteen ninety-four

The whores are closing in

Don’t worry it ain’t nothing new

The whores are closing in

Need a bump to get me through

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray

I'm ready

I've got lust for life

I'm ready

For a fight tonight

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

I'm ready

I’ve got no real plans

I'm ready

I could give a damn

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray

The whores are closing in

There’s money we will burn tonight

The whores are closing in

There’s enough to go around

The whores are closing in

It's like a dope house in Detroit

The whores are closing in

Here’s a key to my room

Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray

I'm ready

I've got lust for life

I'm ready

For a fight tonight

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

I'm ready

I could give a damn

I'm ready

I’ve got no real plans

I’m ready

But I might just walk away

Well I’m ready but I might just walk away

Well I’m ready but I might just
