Last Time Till Broadway by Timothy Morris Lyrics
“Last time till Broadway, step right up and climb aboard to see the lights and the magnificence in a journey through time where we offer you a lifetime of fortune in exchange for your submission of your life to the public, to the listeners, to all your adoring fans. See the vast countryside of broken men, see the high rises of the sell-outs, see the wanderers and the starving artists, see yourself and your future transformed to a star.”
I’m sick of this deaf, dumb town
With false smiles shining all around
Where in order to take the crown
It’s frowned upon to make a sound
A limitless rise awaits
For those willing to syncopate
The sun rises every day
On streets content to be second rate
So here’s to the few that figured it out
I wish you the best
Nothing to do about the lost and all the rest
The ones that don’t mind how it ends
But I bid thee farewell, my friend
Cause it’s the last time till Broadway
Yeah, it’s the last time till Broadway
I miss the shelter house, but you
You gotta leave sometime
Say my goodbyes and read my vows
Take my bows, offer sentiments now
So drink to me who figured it out
Please wish me well
Soon you’ll understand what this was all about
But I bid thee farewell, sweet clown
Cause its the last time till Broadway
Yeah, it’s the last time till Broadway
I want to see the
Lights that shine onto the
Faces unmistakable
See the stages shine
Shine
Cause it’s the last time till Broadway
Yeah, it’s the last time till Broadway
Yeah, it’s the last time till Broadway
Yeah, it’s the last time till Broadway
“In a culture that’s ruled by fear, in a culture where no one hears. And what more is there to offer than to sell soul ice, acting like the politicians are nice? And the network news pumped full of emotion to prompt the motion against what’s right. And what is like to let this fear consume you when you’re acting like you’re on the search for the truth? Pro-life, pro-choice, but you’re all pro-fight as you’re covered in the blanket of night. The system is broken, but how do we move forward? The system is broken, but how do we move forward? The system is broken, but how do we move forward?”
