Karaoké The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Genesis

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Early morning Manhattan oh

Ocean winds blow on the land

The Movie-Palace is now undone

The all-night watchmen have had their fun

Sleeping 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 something moving in the sidewalk steam

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Nightime's flyers feel their pains

Drugstore takes down the chains

Metal motion comes in bursts but the gas station can quench that thirst

Suspension cracked on unmade road

The trucker's eyes read

Overload

And out of the subway

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid exits into daylight

Spraygun 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 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

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway

They say there's always magic in the air

They say the lights are always bright on Broadway

On Broadway
