00:00I've seen the lights go out on me
00:29I've seen the lights go out on me
00:59To watch the island bridges blow
01:06Turned our power down
01:09While Staten Island drowned
01:12But we went right on with the show
01:19I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
01:31I saw the ruins at my feet
01:36You know we almost didn't lose it
01:43I've seen it all the time
01:46Up on a second street
01:49They burned the churches up in Harlem
01:55Like in that Spanish Civil War
02:00The flames were everywhere
02:06But no one really cared
02:09It always burned up that bomb
02:13I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
02:29I watched the mighty skyline fall
02:35The boats were waiting at the battery
02:41The union went on strike
02:45They never sailed at all
02:48They sent to carry around from North Park
02:54And picked the Yankees up for free
03:00We's got lost away
03:05Below Jamaica Bay
03:08It sank Manhattan out of sea
03:15You know those lights were bright on Broadway
03:30That was so many years ago
03:37Before we all lived here in Florida
03:42Before the Mafia
03:45Took over Mexico
03:50There are not many who remember
03:56They say a handful still survived
04:03To tell the world about
04:06The way the lights went out
04:10To keep the memories alive
04:40To keep the memories of the media
