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

rate me

<br>

As he walks along the gorges edge,<br>

He meets a sense of yesteryear.<br>

A window in the bank above his head<br>

Reveals his home amidst the streets.<br>

<br>

Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint<br>

The smell of acid on his gun of paint.<br>

As it carves out anger in a blood-red band,<br>

Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand;<br>

My home.<br>

Is this the way out from this endless scene?<br>

Or just an entrance to another dream?<br>

And the light dies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>

But as the skylight beckons him to leave,<br>

He hears a scream fro far below.<br>

Within the raging water, writhes the form<br>

Of brother John, he cries for help.<br>

<br>

The gate is fading now, but open wide,<br>

But John is drowning, I must decide<br>

Between the freedom I had in the rat-race,<br>

Or to stay forever in this forsaken place;<br>

Hey John!<br>

He makes for the river and the gate is gone,<br>

Back to the void where it came from.<br>

And the light dies down on Broadway.<br>

<br>
