[00:01.23]Billy Joel-Miami 2017 the Lights Go
[00:27.99]Seen the lights go out on broadway
[00:31.43]
[00:34.24]I saw the Empire State laid low
[00:37.86]
[00:40.74]And life went on beyond the Palisades
[00:44.23]
[00:45.72]They all bought Cadillacs
[00:48.55]And left there long ago
[00:50.18]
[00:53.93]They held a concert out in Brooklyn
[00:57.37]
[00:59.87]To watch the island bridges blow
[01:03.87]
[01:05.87]They turned our power down
[01:09.87]And drove us underground
[01:12.87]But we went right on with the show
[01:16.94]
[01:28.75]I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
[01:32.12]
[01:34.43]I saw the ruins at my feet
[01:38.19]
[01:40.56]You know we almost didn't notice it
[01:44.32]
[01:45.50]We'd seen it all time on Forty-second Street
[01:50.69]
[01:52.88]They burned the chuches up in Harlem
[01:56.13]
[01:58.88]Like in the Spanish civil war
[02:01.77]
[02:05.20]The flames were ev'rywhere
[02:07.71]
[02:08.45]But no one really cared
[02:10.57]
[02:11.33]It always burned up there before
[02:14.07]
[02:27.08]I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
[02:30.57]
[02:32.57]I watched the mighty skyline fall
[02:36.64]
[02:39.01]The boats were waiting at the battery
[02:42.26]
[02:43.82]The union went on strike
[02:46.26]
[02:46.95]They never sailed at all
[02:49.32]
[02:50.82]They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
[02:54.41]
[02:57.47]And picked the Yankees up for free
[03:00.72]
[03:03.29]They said that Queens could stay
[03:05.66]And blew the Bronx away
[03:08.60]And sank Manhattan out at sea
[03:13.16]
[03:26.06]You know those lights were bright on Broadway
[03:29.50]
[03:32.32]That was so many years ago
[03:36.19]
[03:38.50]Before we all lived here in Florida
[03:42.13]
[03:43.38]Before the Mafia took over Mexico
[03:48.88]
[03:51.19]There are not many who remember
[03:55.56]
[03:57.94]They say a handful still survive
[04:01.75]
[04:04.63]To tell the world about
[04:07.25]
[04:07.88]The way the lights went out
[04:10.50]
[04:11.19]And keep the memory alive
