THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY

The flickering needle jumps into red. New York crawls out of its bed. And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land.

The title of this blog is 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.' This is the name of a Genesis album, and also the name of the first track on said album.

The Movie-Palace is now undone, The all-night watchmen have had their fun. Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show, It's the same old ending -- time to go. Get out! It seems they cannot leave their dream.

'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' (the album) concerns itself with the story of a half-Puerto Rican juvenile deliquent named Rael, who is somehow transported into the New York City of an alternate reality, where he braves uncanny creatures and frightening twists of fate in order to rescue his brother John.

The un-paid extras disturb the Sleeping Broadway. WALK to the left DON'T WALK to the right: on Broadway, directions don't look so bright. Autoghosts keep the pace for the cabman's early mobile race.

There's something moving in the sidewalk steam.

The fact that this blog is called 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway,' though not quite coincidence, is due to the simple fact that the song of the same name appeared on shuffle, and was a perhaps okay name for this blog. This blog really has nothing to do with the album, the song, or even with Genesis. It has nothing to do with Phil Collins. It may have something to do with Peter Gabriel. But not really. It's just a blog, trying to make its way in the world. That's all.

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid wipes his gun - he's forgotten what he did,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
