Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway) (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - June 1977) - Billy Joel (比利·喬)

I seen the lights go out on Broadway

I saw the Empire State laid low

And life went on beyond the Palisades

They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago

They 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

Oooh Oh Oh Ooh

I 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 42nd 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

Ooh Oh Oh Ooh

I seen 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 the 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 at 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
