And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Early morning Manhattan
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
| E | Edim |
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream
There’s something moving in the sidewalk steam
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
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 on the subway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Middle 8]
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 [D/C#]- made ligh[D/C#]t
At night is [D/C#]very bright[D/C#]
There’s no whitewash victim
Amaj7 | E | Edim |
As the neons dim, to the coat of white
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Wipes his gun-he’s forgotten what he did
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
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 draw your blind!
Don’t look at me! I’m not your kind
| E | Edim |
I’m Rael!
Something inside me has just begun
Lord knows what I have done
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
And the lamb lies down 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) (On Broadway)
They say there’s always magic in the air
(On Broadway) (On Broadway)
