Seen the lights go out on broadway[00:00:42]

I saw the Empire State laid low[00:00:48]

And life went on beyond the Palisades[00:00:55]

They all bought Cadillacs[00:00:59]

And left there long ago[00:01:03]

They held a concert out in Brooklyn[00:01:07]

To watch the island bridges blow[00:01:13]

They turned our power down[00:01:20]

And drove us underground[00:01:23]

But we went right on with the show[00:01:26]

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:01:37]

I saw the ruins at my feet[00:01:48]

You know we almost didn't notice it[00:01:54]

We'd seen it all time on Forty-second Street[00:01:59]

They burned the chuches up in Harlem[00:02:07]

Like in the Spanish civil war[00:02:13]

The flames were ev'rywhere[00:02:20]

But no one really cared[00:02:23]

It always burned up there before[00:02:26]

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway[00:02:42]

I watched the mighty skyline fall[00:02:48]

The boats were waiting at the battery[00:02:55]

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

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[00:03:20]

And blew the Bronx away[00:03:23]

And sank Manhattan out at sea[00:03:26]

You know those lights were bright on Broadway[00:03:42]

That was so many years ago[00:03:49]

Before we all lived here in Florida[00:03:56]

Before the Mafia took over Mexico[00:04:03]

There are not many who remember[00:04:08]

They say a handful still survive[00:04:15]

To tell the world about[00:04:21]

The way the lights went out[00:04:25]

And keep the memory alive[00:04:28]
