Lies Of Autumn Lyrics

  Send "The Lamb Lies Down On The Broadway" Ringtone to your Cell  

And the lamb lies down on Broadway



Early morning Manhattan

Ocean wings blowing on the land

Movie-Palaces now undone

The all-night watchmen have had their fun

Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show

It's the same old ending - it's 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 pains

Drugstore take down the 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 of the subway

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid

Exits into daylight, it's 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 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 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

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
