Lyrics

[00:40.44] And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
[00:52.62] Early morning Manhattan,
[00:56.96] Ocean winds blow on the land.
[01:01.42] The Movie-Palace is now undone,
[01:04.92] The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
[01:08.93] Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show,
[01:12.62] It's the same old ending-time to go.
[01:17.01] Get out!
[01:20.64] It seems they cannot leave their dream.
[01:25.00] There's something moving in the sidewalk steam,
[01:28.87] And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
[01:45.56] Nightime's flyers feel their pains.
[01:49.77] Drugstore takes down the chains.
[01:53.84] Metal motion comes in bursts,
[01:57.99] But the gas station can quench that thirst.
[02:01.99] Suspension cracked on unmade road
[02:06.12] The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
[02:11.08] And out on the subway,
[02:14.39] Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
[02:18.60] Exits into daylight, spraygun hid,
[02:21.89] And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
[02:34.97] The lamb seems right out of place,
[02:38.88] Yet the Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face.
[02:47.15] Somehow it's lying there,
[02:49.81] Brings a stillness to the air.
[02:53.60] Though man-made light, at night is very bright,
[03:01.64] There's no whitewash victim,
[03:05.45] As the neons dim, to the coat of white.
[03:13.61] Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
[03:17.36] Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did,
[03:21.07] And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
[03:33.39] Suzanne tired her work all done,
[03:36.69] Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
[03:41.91] Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
[03:45.75] And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
[03:49.86] Wonder women draw your blind!
[03:54.01] Don't look at me! I'm not your kind.
[03:57.47] I'm Rael!
[04:02.19] Something inside me has just begun,
[04:07.07] Lord knows what I have done,
[04:10.02] And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
[04:22.18] On Broadway-
[04:27.00] They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.
[04:35.11] They say there's always magic in the air...
