Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And the lamb lies down on broadway

[Verse 2]

Early morning Manhattan

Ocean winds blow on the land

The movie palace is now undone

The all night watchmen had their fun

[Verse 3]

Sleeping 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 something moving in the sidewalk steam

And the lamb lies down on broadway

[Verse 4]

Nigh time's flyers feel their pains

Drugstore takes down the chains

Metal motion comes in burst

But the gas station can quench that thirst

Suspension cracked on unmade road

[Verse 5]

The trucker's eyes read overload

And out on the subway

Rael imperial aerosol kid

Exits into daylight

Spray gun hid

[Verse 6]

And the lamb lies down on broadway

[Verse 7]

The lamb seems right out of place

The broadway street scene finds a focus in its face

Somehow it's lying there

Brings a stillness to the air

[Verse 8]

Though man made light

At nights is very bright

There's no whitewash victim

As the neons dim

To the coat of white

Rael imperial aerosol kid

[Verse 9]

Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did

And the lamb lies down on broadway

[Verse 10]

Suzanne tired her work all done

[Verse 11]

Thinks money honey be on neon

Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn

And the sawdust king spits out his scorn

Wonder women who control your flair

[Verse 12]

Don't look at me, I'm not your kind

I'm rael

Something inside me has just begun

Lord know what I have done

And the lamb lies down on broadway

On broadway

They say the lights are always bright (On broadway)

On broadway

They say there's always magic in the air (On broadway)

On broadway

On broadway
