I've seen the lights go out on broadway

I saw the empire state lay low

And life went on beyond palisades

They all bought 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 seen 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

I've 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 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

I've seen the lights go out 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
