I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:00:01]
I saw the Empire State laid low [00:00:07]
And life went on beyond the Palisades [00:00:13]
They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago [00:00:18]
They held a concert out in Brooklyn[00:00:26]
To watch the island bridges blow [00:00:32]
They turned our power down [00:00:39]
And drove us underground [00:00:42]
But we went right on with the show [00:00:46]
Oooh Oh Oh Ooh [00:00:52]
I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:01:01]
I saw the ruins at my feet [00:01:07]
You know we almost didn't notice it [00:01:13]
We'd see it all the time on 42nd Street [00:01:18]
They burned the churches up in Harlem [00:01:26]
Like in that Spanish Civil War [00:01:32]
The flames were everywhere [00:01:38]
But no one really cared:[00:01:42]
It always burned up there before [00:01:45]
Ooh Oh Oh Ooh [00:01:49]
I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:02:00]
I watched the mighty skyline fall [00:02:06]
The boats were waiting at the Battery [00:02:12]
The union went on strike:[00:02:17]
They never sailed at all [00:02:20]
They sent the carrier out from Norfolk [00:02:24]
And picked the Yankees up for free [00:02:30]
They said that Queens could stay [00:02:37]
They blew the Bronx away [00:02:40]
And sank Manhattan out at sea [00:02:43]
You know those lights were bright on Broadway [00:02:58]
But that was so many years ago:[00:03:05]
Before we all lived here in Florida [00:03:11]
Before the Mafia took over Mexico [00:03:16]
There are not many who remember;[00:03:24]
They say a handful still survive[00:03:31]
To tell the world about[00:03:38]
The way the lights went out [00:03:41]
And keep the memory alive[00:03:45]
