Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)-Billy Joel[00:00:08]
I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:00:57]
I saw the Empire State laid low [00:01:03]
And life went on beyond the Palisades [00:01:09]
They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago [00:01:13]
They held a concert out in Brooklyn[00:01:20]
To watch the island bridges blow [00:01:26]
They turned our power down [00:01:32]
And drove us underground [00:01:35]
But we went right on with the show [00:01:38]
Oooh Oh Oh Ooh [00:01:43]
I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:01:53]
I saw the ruins at my feet [00:01:59]
You know we almost didn't notice it [00:02:05]
We'd see it all the time on 42nd Street [00:02:10]
They burned the churches up in Harlem [00:02:17]
Like in that Spanish Civil War [00:02:23]
The flames were everywhere [00:02:29]
But no one really cared:[00:02:33]
It always burned up there before [00:02:35]
Ooh Oh Oh Ooh [00:02:40]
I seen the lights go out on Broadway [00:02:51]
I watched the mighty skyline fall [00:02:57]
The boats were waiting at the Battery [00:03:03]
The union went on strike:[00:03:07]
They never sailed at all [00:03:10]
They sent the carrier out from Norfolk [00:03:15]
And picked the Yankees up for free [00:03:21]
They said that Queens could stay [00:03:27]
They blew the Bronx away [00:03:30]
And sank Manhattan out at sea [00:03:33]
You know those lights were bright on Broadway [00:03:48]
But that was so many years ago:[00:03:54]
Before we all lived here in Florida [00:04:00]
Before the Mafia took over Mexico [00:04:04]
There are not many who remember;[00:04:12]
They say a handful still survive[00:04:18]
To tell the world about[00:04:24]
The way the lights went out [00:04:27]
And keep the memory alive[00:04:31]
