|
And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
|
Early morning Manhattan |
|
Ocean winds blow on the land |
|
Movie-Palace is now undone |
|
The all-night watchmen had their fun |
|
Sleepin' cheaply on the midnight show |
|
It's the same old ending |
|
Time to go |
|
Get out |
|
It seems they cannot leave their dream |
|
There's somethin' movin' in the sidewalk steam |
|
And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
|
Nighttime's flyers feel their pains |
|
Drugstore take down the chains |
|
Metal motion comes in bursts |
|
The gas station can quench that thirst |
|
Suspension cracked on unmade road |
|
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload' |
|
And out on the subway |
|
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid |
|
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid |
|
And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
|
The lamb seems right out of place |
|
Yet the Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face |
|
Somehow it's lyin' there |
|
Brings a stillness to the air |
|
Though man-made light, at night is very bright |
|
There's no whitewash victim |
|
As the neons dim, to the coat of white |
|
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid |
|
Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did |
|
And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
|
Suzanne tired her work all done |
|
Thinks money, honey, be on, neon |
|
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn |
|
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn |
|
Wonder women you can draw your blind |
|
Don't look at me, I'm not your kind |
|
I'm Rael |
|
Somethin' inside me has just begun |
|
Lord knows what I have done |
|
And the lamb lies down on Broadway (on Broadway) |
|
On Broadway (on Broadway) |
|
On Broadway (on Broadway) |
|
On Broadway (on Broadway) |
