The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Platinum Collection Version)

Lyrics

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
 Get out
 It seems they cannot leave their dream
 There's something moving in the sidewalk steam
 And the lamb lies down on Broadway
 Nighttime'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
 Real 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
 Real 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 real
 Something inside me has just begun
 Lord knows what I have done
 And the lamb lies down on Broadway
 On Broadway
 On Broadway (they say the lights are always bright 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 (they say there's always-)
