"Suzanne tired her work all done.
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn.
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
Wonder women you can draw your blind.
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind
I'm Rael
Something inside me has just begun.
Lord knows what I have done."

"They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in the air."
(I'm sure you all know this is NOT "On Broadway", so I won't see any guesses that it is. of course.)
"Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land.
The Movie-Palace is now undone
The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show.
It's the same old ending-time to go
Get out
It seems they cannot leave their dream.
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam."
"Nightime's flyers feel their pains
Drugstore takes down the chains.
Metal motion comes in bursts
But the gas station can quench that thirst
Suspension cracked on unmade road
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
And out on the subway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid"

"They say the lights are always bright on Broadway. They say there's always magic in the air."
Now that the chorus has appeared, I know it's George Benson's "On Broadway."
I remember about 50 years ago, it was used on a commercial for Radio Free Europe.

Now that I think of it, I remember almost all of the words to "On Broadway," and that's not what WW posted. Maybe someone snuck those words in as an homage?

Yes, although there's also another reason. Other than those 2 lines, the 2 songs don't share lyrics, as you realized.
I'm thinking I'll switch songs but use the same ARTIST, as I like to do when the room is stumped.
"You're just another face that I know from the TV show.
I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend.
Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while?
Can I meet you another day and we will fly away?"
"You're just another face that I know from the TV show. I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend. Can't you do anything for me, can I touch you for a while? Can I meet you another day and we will fly away?

I can show you, I can show you, some of the people in my life.
It's driving me mad. It's just another way of passing the day.
I, I get so lonely when she's not there."
One last try on this before I sacrifice it like the previous little lamb....
"All I need is a TV show, that and the radio
Down on my luck again, down on my luck again
I can show you I can show you some of the people in my life

Oh man! I'm glad I checked out the Name That Tune section this morning as I'm a huge fan of prog rock and Genesis is one of my favorites. This one is "Turn it on Again" from the very early 80s.

Thank you for joining in, infoabsorption! You have the correct answer!
This was Genesis' "Turn It On Again", a hit and my favorite song off of "Duke." (I bought the cassette once specifically to get this song, and enjoyed the rest, just not as much.)
The previous song got more airplay, I thought. It was Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."
It is now your turn. Choose a song to post, for us to guess. Since you are posting the clues, it is RECOMMENDED you look them up so you post the correct lyrics. We are not allowed to look them up, and if we do, we disqualify ourselves from naming the song.
I'm lost also, so I'll await someone else's guess, or another clue.
Although it's not usually a good idea to keep posting clues (in this thread, parts of the lyrics) every few hours, it's usually good to post them at least daily so the thread doesn't stall for a week. (This has been a general tip.)
I should point out that the rest of the regulars here (Raf, WordWolf, Human without the Bean, and I) are in the 45-65 years age range. I don't even know what "progressive rock" means!

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.
WordWolf
Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Ok, next song.
"Suzanne tired her work all done.
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn.
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
Wonder women you can draw your blind.
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind
I'm Rael
Something inside me has just begun.
Lord knows what I have done."

As long as that artist's version contains the lyrics given. Different versions often have slight changes in the lyrics.
Back to the game. And I have no idea about WW's song.

It's a bigger hit by the same artist, so I'm hoping we can move this along.

Sounds rather grim.
Don't recognize it. If none of the others get it in a day or so, please add more lyrics (presumably none that contain the title).
