Chorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man’s bar waiting for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rockstar
And Friday night’s gone to far
The dim lights hides the years
On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
And you’re livin’ in a world
That your best forgotten around here

chorus

You choke down all your anger
Forgot your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
Cause’ your livin’ in a world that you’re
best forgotten
And when you’re thinkin’ you’re a joke
And nobody’s gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here

chorus

You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
‘Cause your livin’ in a world
That your best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin’ you’re a joke
Do you think they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here

(sidney cox and suzanne cox/sidney lawrence music, administered by bug, bmi)

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though i never thought i’d make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment i’m someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there’s always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When i’m down and i’m growing old
I won’t be along no railroad track
I won’t be bound to a life out in the cold
It’s been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can’t go on, i’m on the top of my better years
I’m going home, it’s too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It’s been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

(the clash)

"it ain’t my fault
It’s 6 ‘o’clock in the morning"
He said
As he came up out of the night

When he found i had no coins to bum,
He began to testify
Born in a depression
Born out of good luck
Born into misery
– in the back of a truck..

I’m telling you this mister
Don’t be put off by looks
I been in the ring and i took those right hooks

Oh the loneliness
Used to knock me out – harder than the rest

And i’ve worked for breakfast
‘n i ain’t had no lunch
I been on delivery and received every punch

Suddenly i noticed that it weren’t quite the same
Feel different one morning maybe it was the rain

But everywhere i looked all over the city
They’re runnin’ in an out of the bars
Someone stopped for a pick-up driving one of those cars
Y’see i allways wanted one of those cars
Long black ‘n shiny an’ pull up to the bars
Honk your horn, put down your windows, push yer button,
Hear it coming in
You can say i can see the light… roll!
Forward! drive! green lights! green lights!
Intersection city coming a running comeback home i run back
Not that strong now
Yes who’s there now, can i help you? calling intel station light

Did you put your money in? yes i put it in
It say go, i say go, she say go, so we say go
Cos i can see the light all night tonight this night right now
Coming on forward motion across the ocean
An’ up the hills yeh boys let’s strike for the hills
While that petrol tank is full
Gimme a push gimme a pull
Gimme a llama gimme a mule
Gimme a donkey or gimme a horse

Down the avenue
So fine
In style
