The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

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 have 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 Nighttimes flyers feel their pains Drugstore takes down the chains Metal motion comes in bursts The gas station can quench that thirst Suspension cracked on unmade road The truckers eyes read 'Overload' And out on the subway Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid, exits into daylight, spray gun hid And the lamb lies down on Broadway The lamb seems right out of place The Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face Somehow its 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 Sawdust King spits out his scorn Wonder women you could 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) (On Broadway, on Broadway) They say the lights are always bright on Broadway (On Broadway, on Broadway) They say there's always magic in the air (On Broadway, on Broadway) They say the lights are always bright on Broadway (On Broadway)
