genesis - the lamb lies down on broadway / watcher of the skies (medley) lyrics
[part i: the lamb lies down on broadway]
[intro]
and the lamb lies down, down, down, down on broadway
[verse 1]
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
well, 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, yes, the lamb lies down, down, down, down
oh, on broadway
[verse 2]
nightime’s flyers feel their pains
drugstore takes down it’s chains
oh, metal motion comes in bursts
but the gas station can quеnch that thirst
suspension cracked on unmade road
thе trucker’s eyes, they all read ‘overload’
and out of the subway
rael imperial aerosol kid
exits into daylight, with his spraygun hid
and the lamb, the lamb lies down, down, down, down, on broadway
[bridge]
oh, the lamb seems quite out of place
yet 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 neons dim, to the coat of white
rael imperial aerosol kid
wipes his gun, he’s forgotten what he did
and the lamb, yes, the lamb lies down, down, down, down on broadway
on broadway
[verse 4]
suzanne tired her work all done
she thinks money+honey+be on+neon
cabman’s velvet glove sounds the h+rn
and the sawdust king spits out his scorn
wonder women, you can draw your blind!
don’t you look at me, b+tch!
i’m not your kind, i’m rael!
something inside me has just begun
lord knows what i have done
and the lamb, the lamb lies down, down, down, down
oh, on broadway
the lamb, it lies down
[post+chorus]
they say the lights are always bright
they say there’s always magic in the air
they say the lights are always bright
they say there’s always magic in the air
rael imperial aerosol kid
wipes his gun, he’s forgotten what he did
and the lamb, yes, the lamb lies down, down, down, down
[outro]
broadway
ooh, the lights are always bright
oh, the lights are always bright
on broadway
they say the lights are always bright
the lights are always bright
the lights are always bright
on broadway
they say the lights are always bright
the lights are always bright
the lights are always bright
on broadway, oh
the lights are always bright
they say the lights are always bright
oh, they say the lights are always bright
oh, they say the lights are always bright
oh, they say the lights are always bright
they say the lights are always bright
they say the lights are always bright
they say the lights are always bright
oh, on broadway
they say the lights are always bright
oh, on broadway
on broadway
on broadway
on broadway
on broadway
on broadway
on broadway
oh, on broadway
[part ii: watcher of the skies]
