Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting 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 say you love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world
That you're best forgotten round here
Broadway is dark tonight
A little weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
Pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world's slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
You see you love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
Cause you live in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinking you're a joke
And nobody's gonna listen to the one small point
I know they've been missing around here
Broadway is dark tonight
You'll be weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See a young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die
You say you love to run home
But you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world
That you're best forgotten
When you're thinking you're a joke
And nobody's gonna listen to the one small point
I know they've been missing round here here from here
Broadway is dark tonight
You'll be weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's arms
Waiting for his turn to die
