The Band of Heathens Follow

(*Jurdi/Quist/Brooks)

Marquee is on the blacktop*
Broken down where she used to play
Church bells ring and the choir it sings
Leads the people in to pray

Preacher said that she lost her faith
But she came in at a fighting weight
One hundred twenty seven thousand times
She’s seen the sun, but it no longer shines

Say hello, Say Goodbye to the city
The one where the streets don’t run so wide
Say Hello, Say Goodbye to the city
With the Other Broadway Sign

They rolled up the sidewalks and closed the doors
And they pushed her out to where the grass don’t grow
Every single face looks the same inside
There’s no souls left standing where her body lies

Say hello, Say Goodbye to the city
The one where the streets don’t run so wide
Say Hello, Say Goodbye to the city
With the Other Broadway Sign

Say Goodbye
Say Hello
Say Goodbye
Say Hello
Say Goodbye
Say Hello...
