Broadway is dark tonight
On the losers day parade
Waitin' for his turn to die
See the young man sittin'
Broadway is dark tonight
I know they been missin’ round here

It always rains like hell

You drink it of your mind
To the one small point

When you're sober up for fun
You see you’d love to run home

Waitin' for his turn to die
On all the faded girls
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin'
When you’re thinkin’ of a joke
A little bit weaker
See the young man sittin'
I know they been missin’ round here, round here
That you’re best forgotten around here

In the old man’s bar
Than you used to be
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been

You talk about the world
But you know you ain’t got one
The cowboy kills the rock star
You see you’d love to run home
A little bit weaker

See the young man sittin'
A little bit weaker

’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
You choke down all your anger
Than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
When you’re thinkin’ of a joke

The dim light hides the years

And nobody’s gonna listen
You see you’d love to run home
Than you used to be
But you know you ain’t got one
Do you think that they’ll listen
In the old man’s bar
And Friday night’s gone too far
Broadway is dark tonight
That you’re best forgotten
Forget your only son

In the old man’s bar
'Cause you’re livin’ in a world

You pray to statues
In the old man’s bar
Than you used to be

Waitin' for his turn to die
Broadway is dark tonight
Waitin' for his turn to die
Broadway is dark tonight
Forgotten but not gone
But you know you ain’t got one
Your anger don’t impress me
To one small point
The world slapped in your face

That you’re best forgotten
