作曲：

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway

I saw the Empire State laid low

And life went on beyond the palaces

The all bought Cadillacs

Left there long ago

We held a concert out in Brooklyn

To watch the island bridges blow

It 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 life end

You know we almost didn't notice it

We see it all the time

On 42nd street

It burned the churches up in Harlem

Like in that Spanish Civil War

The flames were everywhere

And no one really cared

It always burned up there before

I've seen the rats lie down on Broadway

And I watched the Miami skyline fall

The folks were waving at the battery

The union went on strike

They never settled at out

They sent a carrier out from Norfolk

And picked the Yankees up for free

They said the queen could stay

And threw the crowns away

And sent Manhattan out to sea

She knows those lights right on Broadway

That was so many years ago

Before we all lived here in Florida

Before the mafia

Took over Mexico

There are many who remember

They say a handful still survive

To tell the world about

The way the lights went out

To keep the memory alive
