Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway) [Live[00:00:00]
Seen the lights go out on broadway[00:00:27]
I saw the Empire State laid low[00:00:34]
And life went on beyond the Palisades[00:00:40]
They all bought Cadillacs[00:00:45]
And left there long ago[00:00:48]
They held a concert out in Brooklyn[00:00:53]
To watch the island bridges blow[00:00:59]
They turned our power down[00:01:05]
And drove us underground[00:01:09]
But we went right on with the show[00:01:13]
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:01:28]
I saw the ruins at my feet[00:01:34]
You know we almost didn't notice it[00:01:40]
We'd seen it all time on Forty-second Street[00:01:44]
They burned the chuches up in Harlem[00:01:52]
Like in the Spanish civil war[00:01:57]
The flames were ev'rywhere[00:02:04]
But no one really cared[00:02:08]
It always burned up there before[00:02:11]
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:02:26]
I watched the mighty skyline fall[00:02:32]
The boats were waiting at the battery[00:02:38]
The union went on strike[00:02:43]
They never sailed at all[00:02:46]
They sent a carrier out from Norfolk[00:02:50]
And picked the Yankees up for free[00:02:57]
They said that Queens could stay[00:03:03]
And blew the Bronx away[00:03:06]
And sank Manhattan out at sea[00:03:09]
You know those lights were bright on Broadway[00:03:25]
That was so many years ago[00:03:32]
Before we all lived here in Florida[00:03:38]
Before the Mafia took over Mexico[00:03:43]
There are not many who remember[00:03:51]
They say a handful still survive[00:03:57]
To tell the world about[00:04:04]
The way the lights went out[00:04:08]
And keep the memory alive[00:04:11]
