lirik lagu miami 2017 (seen the lights go out on broadway) – billy joel
i’ve seen the lights go out on broadway-
i saw the empire state laid low.
and life went on beyond the palisades,
they all bought bright cadillacs-
and left there long ago.
we held a concert out in brooklyn-
to watch the island bridges blow.
they turned our power down,
and drove us underground-
but we went right on with the show…
i’ve seen the lights go out on broadway-
i saw the ruins at my feet,
you know we almost didn’t notice it-
we’d see it all the time on forty-second street.
they burned the churches up in harlem-
like in that spanish civil war-
the flames were everywhere,
but no one really cared-
it always burned up there before….
i saw the lights go out on broadway-
i watched the mighty skyline fall.
the boats were waiting at the battery,
the union went on strike-
they never sailed at all.
they sent a carrier out from norfolk-
and picked the yankees up for free.
they said that queens could stay,
they blew the bronx away-
and sank manhattan out to sea….
you know those lights were bright on broadway-
but that was so many years ago…
before we all lived here in florida-
before the mafia took over mexico.
there are not many who remember-
they say a handful still survive…
to tell the world about…
the way the lights went out,
and keep the memory alive….
