Broadway - Ian Hunter

Broadway is dark tonight

A little bit weaker than you used to be

Broadway is dark tonight

See the young man sittin' in the old man’s bar

Waitin' for his turn to die

The cowboy kills the rock star

And Friday night’s gone too far

The dim light hides the years

On all the faded girls

Forgotten but not gone

You drink it off your mind

You talk about the world

Like it’s someplace that you’ve been

You see you’d love to run home

But you know you ain’t got one

Cause you’re livin' in a world that

You’re best forgotten, around here

You choke down all your anger

Forget your only son

You pray to statues when you sober up for fun

You’re anger don’t impress me

The world slapped in your face

It always rains like hell on the loser’s day parade

You see you’d love to run home

But you know ain’t got one

Cause you’re livin' in a world

That you’re best forgotten

And if you’re thinkin' you’re a joke

Do you think that they’ll listen

To the one small point

I know they’ve been missin' round here

You see you’d love to run home

But you know ain’t got one

Cause you’re livin' in a world

That you’re best forgotten

And if you’re thinkin' you’re a joke

Do you think that they’ll listen

To the one small point

I know they’ve been missin' round here
