The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (2008 Remsater) - Genesis

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis
Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land
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 take down the chains
Metal motion comes in bursts
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
The lamb seems right out of place
Yet the Broadway street scene
Finds a focus in it's 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
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
They say the lights are
Always bright on Broadway
On Broadway
