Lyrics Broadway Melody of 1974 (New Stereo Mix) - Genesis

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
There's 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
