Lyrics:
with you
--Thank you to Roger Nupie for the transcription of the lyrics
This is an aria from the opera The Medium by Gian Carlo Menotti
as we speak
So when the lights go out
You'll hear them scream and shout
[Chorus]
Riot on Broadway
Lights out on the town
Riot on Broadway
Anger
Got into a cab, Broadway, Fifty Ninth
Took off like a blast
Almost lost my mind - oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack
It first felt like at thrill
Reach into that little mini-bar and pull a beer out
Loose, there's cranberry if you need it for the gray goose
By now I got my pants around my ankles
And Ebury Street by the sea
Over the Broadway and run
To the end of the Pier
From Kent to Cornwall they're
Submerged by the swelling tide
A small tree
Georgie Fame
Oh, I heard him one night quite by chance
Now wherever I'm walking, I dance
And London is not quite the same
'Cause when he sings, the city
go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
slumming on Park Avenue
Where the social hearts
For Broadway lights are throbbing
And they spend their nights
In smart cafes hobknobbing, snobbing
There is healing in your name
So by faith we'll all proclaim
At the mention of your name
Every sickness fade away
There is healing in your name
I've looted and I've begged
On the tubes of the Bec and Broadway
I've been run over by cars
And to prove it her's the scars
On my wrists
I've
Away with the music of Broadway
Be off with your Irving Berlin
No, I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
Broadway! Broadway! Broadway U.S.A.! Broadway! Broadway! Broadway U.S.A.!
Broadway! Broadway! Broadway! Broadway! Broadway U.S.A.!Broadway U.S.A. !
that I didn't leave alone
Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need
In a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this ain't got
I didn't leave alone
Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need
In a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this ain't got
there at home
There's no one now left to hold me
My days once flew by
Like the geese in the sky
Flying high over Avery County
In our little
You've heard it said a thousand times
But only heard his Broadway lines
So, baby please go
Ain't, ain't part of the show
'Cause when Romeo
every song I'm (D) singing,
And they're tryin' to put an end to guys like (G) me,
All that's left in Bakersfield is a (D) jukebox,
And it's haunted by
and do that Broadway dip
These are the sounds of a '85 Chevy with old 12's in the back
Rollin' on them twenties, drunk alone
I got my Nike Spurs
make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got
(City rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh, city rhythm, ooh)
When my heart (city rhythm) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my
town
A sad misfortune came over me
Which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from me friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway,
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay,
I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse;
The seven
