1.The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Early morning Manhatten
Ocean winds blow on the land
Movie-palace is now undone
The all-night watchmen have had their fun
Sleeping cheaply on a 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

Night-time's flyers feel their pain
Drugstore takes down it's chains
Metal motion comes in bursts
But the gas station can quench that thirst
Suspension cracked on an unmade road
The trucker's eyes read 'overload!'
And out on the subway
Rael imperial aerosol kid
Exits in the daylight, his 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 code 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 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-
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
