Broadway Melody Of 1974 Lyrics - Genesis Revisited Ii - Steve Hackett

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, 

with her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades: 

Lenny Bruce declares a truce and plays his other hand. 

Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. 

Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing. 

Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing. 

Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays "In the Mood". 

The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, 

theres a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde. 

Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, 

He knows in a scent, you can bottle all you made. 

There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, 

smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes. 

And as the song and dance begins, 

the children play at home with needles; needles and pins.
