The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway |
| And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
| Early morning Manhattan |
| Ocean wings blowing on the land |
| Movie-Palaces now undone |
| The all-night watchmen have had their fun |
| Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show |
| It’s the same old ending — it’s 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 |
| Night-time's flyers feel their pains |
| Drugstore take down the chains |
| Metal motion comes in bursts |
| But the gas station can quench that thirst |
| Suspension cracked on an unmade road |
| The trucker’s eyes read «Overload» |
| And out of the subway |
| Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid |
| Exits into daylight, it’s 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 lying 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 |
| Something inside me has just begun |
| Lord knows what I have done |
| And the lamb lies down on Broadway |
| On Broadway — |
| They say the lights are always bright on Broadway |
