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

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
E
Drugstore taking down the chains
G#m
Metal motion comes in bursts
A
But the gas station can quench that thirst
G#m
Suspension cracked on unmade road
A
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'

And out of the subway

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid

Exits into daylight, spraygun hid

Thinks money-honey be-on neon

Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn

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
