Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Songtext
von Liquid Blue

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 had their fun

Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It′s the same old ending, time to go
Get out!

It seems we 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
Drug store take 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 of the subway
Rael imperial aerosol kid
Exits into daylight, spray gun hid

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

The lamb seems right out of place in 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 neon′s 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) city lights are always bright
(On Broadway, on Broadway)
(On Broadway) yes, there′s always magic in the air
(On Broadway, on Broadway)

(On Broadway) city lights are always bright
(On Broadway, on Broadway)
(On Broadway) yes, there's always magic in the air
(On Broadway)
