This song is about closing time at a bar, and the end of the world:
The whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the devil and once for Christ
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights,
Busted in the blinding lights
Of Closing Time
There is a reference to revelations, where everybody goes crazy for the anti-christ, then the second coming occurs and everybody goes crazy for Christ. At the same time its just about a bar. Cohen has a wonderful ability to capture the divine in the mundane...Sisters of mercy was about three ladies who picked him up hitchhiking in a snow storm and let them stay in their hotel room, according to an interview.
