That's a deep one, never heard it.
I've been in dreams similar to that.
### - early genesis: 'The lamb lies down on broadway'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRSgvfNZcWA
The Story Part 1:
The flickering needle jumps into red. New York crawls out of its bed. The
weary guests are asked to leave the warmth of the all-night theater,
having slept on pictures that others only dream on. The un-paid extras
disturb the Sleeping Broadway. WALK to the left DONT WALK to the right: on Broadway, directions don't look so bright. Autoghosts keep the pace for
the cabmans early mobile race. Enough of this - our hero is moving up the subway stairs into daylight Beneath his leather jacket he holds a spray
gun which has left the message R-A-E-L in big letters on the wall leading underground. It may not mean much to you but to Rael it is part of the
process going towards 'making a name for yourself.' When you're not even a pure-bred Puerto-Rican the going gets tough, and the tough gets going.
With casual sideways glances along the wet street, he checks the motion in
the steam to look for potential obstruction. Seeing none, he strides along
the sidewalk, past the drugstore with iron guard being removed to reveal
the smile of the toothpaste girl, past the nightladies and past Patrolman
Frank Leonowich (48, married, two kids) who stands in the doorway of the wig-store. Patrolman Leonowich looks at Rael in much the same way that
other Patrolmen look at him, and Rael only just hides that he is hiding something. Meanwhile from out of the steam a lamb lies down. This lamb has nothing whatsoever to do with Rael, or any other lamb - it just lies down
on Broadway. The sky is overcast and as Rael looks back a dark cloud is descending like a balloon into Time Square. It rests on the ground and
shapes itself into a hard edged flat surface, which solidifies and extends itself all the way East and West along 47th Street and reaching up to the
dark sky. As the wall takes up its tension it becomes a screen showing
what had existed in three dimensions, on the other side just a moment
before. The image flickers and then cracks like painted clay and the wall silently moves forward, absorbing everything in its path. The unsuspecting
New Yorkers are apparently blind to what is going on. Rael starts to run
away towards Columbus Circle. Each time he dares to take a look, the wall
has moved another block. At the moment when he thinks he's maintaining his distance from the wall, the wind blows hard and cold slowing down his
speed. The wind increases, dries the wet street and picks up the dust off
the surface, throwing it into Rael's face. More and more dirt is blown up
and it begins to settle on Rael's skin and clothes, making a solid layered
coat that brings him gradually to a terrified stillness. A sitting duck.
The moment of impact bursts through the silence and in a roar of sound,
the final second is prolonged in a world of echoes as if the concrete and
clay of Broadway itself was reliving its memories. The last great march
past. Newsman stands limp as a whimper as audience and event are locked as
one. Bing Crosby coos "You don't have to feel pain to sing the blues, you
don't have to holla - you don't feel a thing in your dollar collar."
Martin Luther King cries "Everybody Sing!" and rings the grand old liberty bell. Leary, weary of his prison cell, walks on heaven, talks on hell.
J.F.K. gives the O.K. to shoot us, sipping Orange Julius and Lemon Brutus.
Bare breasted cowboy double decks the triple champion. Who needs Medicare
and the 35c flat rate fare, when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are
dancing through the air? From Broadway Melody stereotypes the band returns
to 'Stars and Stripes' bringing a tear to the moonshiner, who's been
pouring out his spirit from the illegal still. The pawn broker clears the
noisy till and clutches his lucky dollar bill. Then the blackout.
