The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid, exits into daylight, spray gun hid
The all-night watchmen have had their fun

Brings a stillness to the air

(On Broadway, on Broadway)

Suzanne tired, her work all done
Movie Palace is now undone
(On Broadway, on Broadway)

And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Nighttimes flyers feel their pains
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
As the neons dim, to the coat of white
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway

I'm Rael, something inside me has just begun
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
Drugstore takes down the chains
It's the same old ending time to go
Ocean winds blow on the land
Though man-made light at night is very bright
Metal motion comes in bursts
Suspension cracked on unmade road
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Early morning Manhattan
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid, wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did
Wonder women you could draw your blind

(On Broadway, on Broadway)
Sleepin' cheaply on the midnight show
They say theres always magic in the air

Theres somethin' movin' in the sidewalk steam
(On Broadway)

The lamb seems right out of place
And out on the subway
Thinks money honey be on neon
And Sawdust King spits out his scorn
The truckers eyes read 'Overload'

Somehow its lyin' there
The Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face
The gas station can quench that thirst
Don't look at me, I'm not your kind
Lord knows, what I have done
Get out, it seems they cannot leave their dream
There's no whitewash victim
