The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (live in London 2024)

And the lamb lies down
On Broadway
Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land
Movie palace is now undone
The old night watchmen now have their fun
Sleeping cheaply on the 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's steam
And the lamb lies down
On Broadway
Night time flyers feel the breeze
Drive slow, take down their chains
Metal motion comes in first
But the gas station can't quench God's thirst
Suspension cracked on the unmade road
The trucker's eyes read "Overload"
And out of the subway
Braille Imperial air is sulky
Exits in the daylight, swear to God he did
And the lamb lies down
On Broadway
The lamb seems right out of place
Yet the Broadway street scene
Finds the focus in his face
Somehow his lying there
Brings a stillness to the air
Though man-made light
At night is very bright
There's no whitewashed victim
As the neon dims to the coat of white
Braille Imperial air is sulky
Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did
And the lamb lies down
On Broadway
Suzanne's tired, her world gone nothing
Money honey, beat on neon
Catman's velvet glove sounds the hall
The sawdust king spits out his gall
Wonder woman, you can roll your blind
Don't look at me, I'm not your kind
'Cause I'm ready
Something inside me has just begun
Lord knows what I have done
And the lamb lies down
On Broadway
On Broadway
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
They say there's always magic
In the air
In the air
In the air
In the air
