Second Avenue

Horslips

They'll be waiting at the quay-side;
They'll be running down the hill
Will they meet and recognize us;
And do they really love us still?

All down Second Avenue
The news is spreading fast
They've parleyed with the captain
And they're Corning in;
They're coming home at Iast

So tell the people
The future's on its' way
That's what the people say

They'll be crowding on the rooftops;
Cheering wildly in the shuttered streets
They'll be streaming down the sidewalks;
They'll be dancing in the midnight heat

And though they can't remember what they're cheering for today
It's far too late to tell them they've been fooled again;
They never listen anyway
So tell them brother - the future starts today
That's what the papers say
All along the darkened streets
The news is spreading fast
The dancers are all leaving and the crowd is still;
The music's stopped at last
