Lamb Lies Down by Genesis

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Early morning Manhattan,
Ocean winds blow on the land.
Movie Palace is now undone,
The allnight watchmen have had 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 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 trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
Get out
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into day light, 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 manmade 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
on Broadway.
