Lyrics Broadway - Ian Hunter

Broadway

Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man’s bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night’s gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
Cause you’re livin' in a world that
You’re best forgotten, around here
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
You’re anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser’s day parade
You see you’d love to run home
But you know ain’t got one
Cause you’re livin' in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin' you’re a joke
Do you think that they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they’ve been missin' round here
You see you’d love to run home
But you know ain’t got one
Cause you’re livin' in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin' you’re a joke
Do you think that they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they’ve been missin' round here
