Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ,The movie - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway lyrics

rate me

<br>

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>

Early morning Manhattan,<br>

Ocean winds blow on the land.<br>

The Movie-Palace is now undone,<br>

The all-night watchmen have had their fun.<br>

Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show,<br>

Its the same old ending-time to go.<br>

Get out!<br>

It seems they cannot leave their dream.<br>

Theres something moving in the sidewalk steam,<br>

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>

Nightimes flyers feel their pains.<br>

Drugstore takes down the chains.<br>

Metal motion comes in bursts,<br>

But the gas station can quench that thirst.<br>

Suspension cracked on unmade road<br>

The truckers eyes read Overload<br>

And out on the subway,<br>

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid<br>

Exits into daylight, spraygun hid,<br>

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>

The lamb seems right out of place,<br>

Yet the Broadway street sceng finds a focus in its face.<br>

Somehow its lying there,<br>

Brings a stillness to the air.<br>

Though man-made light, at night is very bright,<br>

Theres no whitewash victim,<br>

As the neons dim, to the coat of white.<br>

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,<br>

Wipes his gun-hes forgotten what he did,<br>

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>

Suzanne tired her work all done,<br>

Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.<br>

Cabmans velvet glove sounds the horn<br>

And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.<br>

Wonder women draw your blind!<br>

Dont look at me! Im not your kind.<br>

Im Rael!<br>

Something inside me has just begun,<br>

Lord knows what I have done,<br>

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.<br>

On Broadway-<br>

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.<br>

They say theres always magic in the air.<br>

<br>
