SISTER BROADWAY

Half past midnight in a murder mystery
She’s still dancing with the boys; fast company,
He smiles like Eddie Robinson, smokes Turkish cigarettes
His eyes reflect an empty room that never forgets.
Somewhere in the city, on a corner by the bend
I’ll meet you in the moonlight where the sidewalk ends
Sister Broadway.
The boys are going crazy, this wagon’s off the rail
And the ladies all go home tonight, out on bail.
I saw you from the payphone booth as you lit a cigarette,
Your dangerous curves stimulate and masturbate my head.
The neon sign invites me, this doorway leads to Hell,
While the streetlights shade a wet parade for those who buy and sell
Sister Broadway.
Terms are plain and simple for the undercover man,
Use it while you’ve got it and get it while you can.
You think it’s so exciting, a trip down Memory Lane,
But no one gets a second chance on Suicide & Main.
So dance this dying moment and try to show you care,
I always wake up screaming on Hangover Square
Sister Broadway.
Kiss me deadly, kiss me sweet
Hold me while this moment lasts
Make it all complete…
Murder on the blackboard; the schoolboy show is closed,
There’s torture on the tv and blackmail in the post.
She wants to save her money, a down payment on a car,
But this illegal traffic won’t take you very far.
As the girl and her detective caress the private eye,
They tried to make you someone but all you did was cry
Sister Broadway.
Kiss me deadly, kiss me sweet
Hold me while this moment lasts
Make it all complete
Sister Broadway.
