Miami 2017(Live) (Live) - Billy Joel (比利·乔尔)[00:00:00]
Written by:Billy Joel[00:00:01]
Seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:00:26]
I saw the empire state laid low[00:00:32]
And life went on beyond the palisades[00:00:38]
They all bought Cadillac's[00:00:43]
And left there long ago[00:00:46]
They held a concert out in Brooklyn[00:00:51]
To watch the island bridges blow[00:00:56]
They turned our power down[00:01:02]
And drove us underground[00:01:06]
But we went right on with the show[00:01:09]
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:01:23]
I saw the ruins at my feet[00:01:29]
You know we almost didn't notice it[00:01:35]
We'd seen it all time on forty second street[00:01:39]
They burned the churches up in Harlem[00:01:47]
Like in the Spanish civil war[00:01:52]
The flames were ev'rywhere[00:01:58]
But no one really cared[00:02:01]
It always burned up there before[00:02:04]
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:02:19]
I watched the mighty skyline fall[00:02:25]
The boats were waiting at the battery[00:02:31]
The union went on strike[00:02:35]
They never sailed at all[00:02:38]
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk[00:02:42]
And picked the Yankees up for free[00:02:48]
They said that queens could stay[00:02:54]
And blew the Bronx away[00:02:57]
And sank Manhattan out at sea[00:03:00]
You know those lights were bright on Broadway[00:03:15]
That was so many years ago[00:03:21]
Before we all lived here in Florida[00:03:27]
Before the mafia took over Mexico[00:03:32]
There are not many who remember[00:03:41]
They say a handful still survive[00:03:47]
To tell the world about[00:03:53]
The way the lights went out[00:03:56]
And keep the memory alive[00:03:59]
