The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - 2004 Remix

And the lamb
Lies down
On broadway

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
Its the same old ending - time to go
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream
Theres 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 truckers 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
The Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face
Somehow, its lying there brings a stillness to the air
Though man-made light
At night is very bright
Theres 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!
Dont look at me! I'm not your kind
Im 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 theres always magic in the air (On Broadway)
(On Broadway) They say the lights are always bright on Broadway
