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

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...
