Testo Miami 2017 - Billy Joel
Testo della canzone Miami 2017 (Billy Joel), tratta dall'album Turnstiles
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the Empire State laid low
And life went on beyond the palaces
They all bought Cadillacs, and left their long ago
They held a concert out in Brooklyn
To watch the island bridges blow
They turned our power down, and drove us underground
But we went right on with the show, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet
You know, we almost didn't notice it
We'd see it all the time on 42nd 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, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I've seen lights go out on Broadway
I washed the mighty skyline fall
The boats were waiting at the valley
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 sailed the Queens to save, 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
And keep the memory alive
