Variations on an Original Theme, Op.36 ''Enigma'' - Variation XIII (***) Romanza: Moderato - Billy Joel (比利·乔尔)[00:00:00]

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-[00:00:53]

I saw the Empire State laid low [00:00:59]

And life went on beyond the Palisades [00:01:05]

They all bought Cadillacs-[00:01:10]

And left there long ago [00:01:13]

We held a concert out in Brooklyn-[00:01:17]

To watch the Island bridges blow [00:01:23]

They turned our power down [00:01:29]

And drove us underground-[00:01:32]

But we went right on with the show [00:01:35]

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-[00:01:50]

I saw the ruins at my feet [00:01:56]

You know we almost didn't notice it-[00:02:01]

We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street [00:02:06]

They burned the churches up in Harlem-[00:02:13]

Like in that Spanish Civil War-[00:02:19]

The flames were everywhere [00:02:25]

But no one really cared-[00:02:28]

It always burned up there before [00:02:31]

I've seen the rats lie down on Broadway-[00:02:45]

I watched the mighty skyline fall [00:02:50]

The boats were waiting at the Battery [00:02:56]

The union went on strike-[00:03:01]

They never sailed at all [00:03:03]

They sent a carrier out from Norfolk-[00:03:07]

And picked the Yankees up for free [00:03:13]

They said that Queens could stay [00:03:19]

They blew the Bronx away-[00:03:22]

And sank Manhattan out at sea [00:03:25]

You know those lights were bright on Broadway-[00:03:39]

But that was so many years ago [00:03:45]

Before we all lived here in Florida-[00:03:51]

Before the Mafia took over Mexico [00:03:56]

There are not many who remember-[00:04:03]

They say a handful still survive [00:04:09]

To tell the world about [00:04:15]

The way the lights went out [00:04:19]

And keep the memory alive[00:04:22]
