I saw the Empire State laid low
F#m                         Bm
And life went on beyond the Palisades
A
They all bought Cadillacs
G         A
And left there long ago

They held a concert out in Brooklyn
Bm        G               D      Dsus4
To watch the island bridges blow
F#                G
They turned our power down
A             B
And drove us underground
 Db          B                  D/D  D
But we went right on with the show

I seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet
You know we almost didn’t notice it
We seen 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 seen 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 at sea

You know those lights were bright on Broadway
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
Bb
And keep the memory alive
