The Lamb Lies Down On The Broadway — текст песни (Genesis)

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
