[Chorus]
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway’s dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

[Verse 1]
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world like it’s someplace that you've been

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

[Chorus]
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die

[Verse 2]
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You see, you’d love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you’re thinking you're a joke and nobody's going to listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

[Chorus]
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're living in a world that you're best forgotten, around here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you're thinking you're a joke and nobody's going to listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here

[Chorus]
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sitting in the old man's bar
Waiting for his turn to die

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
