[Verse]
E5Early morning Manhattan
E5 Ocean winds blow on the land
G#m Movie-Palace is now undone
The A5all-night watchmen have had their fun
G#mSleeping cheaply on the midnight show
It's the A5same old ending - time to go
| E | E-5 |
Get out!
It Ebseems they cannot leave their dream
There's Ebm7something moving in the sidewalk steam
Bb Bsus4 | E5 | % |
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Verse]
E5Nightime's flyers feel their pains
E5 Drugstore taking down the chains
G#mMetal motion comes in bursts
But the A5gas station can quench that thirst
SusG#mpension cracked on unmade road
The A5trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
E E-5
And out of the subway
EbRael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Ebm7Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
And the Bblamb lies Bsus4down on Emaj7Broadway
[Middle 8]
Emaj7 The Amaj7lamb seems right out of place
The Emaj7Broadway street scene finds a Amaj7focus in its face
F#m6 Somehow its lying there
Brings a C#stillness to the air
Though C#mman D/C#- made C#mlighD/C#t
At C#mnight is D/C#very C#mbrightD/C#
There's Dmaj7no D6whitewash Dmaj7victim D6

As the neons dim to the coat of white
EbRael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Ebm7Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did

And the lamb lies down on Broadway
[Verse]
E5Suzanne tired, her work all done
ThinksE5 money-honey be-on neon
G#mCabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the Asawdust king spits out his scorn
G#mWonder women, you can draw your blind!
ADon't look at me, I'm not your kind
| E | E-5 |
I'm Rael!
EbSomething inside me has just begun
Ebm7 Lord knows what I have done
