Lyrics

I trade all my sunshine
For twin towers to hide behind
And find you there
When I left on that sunday
To come home on a tuesday
Well I never
I never thought I'd have to see and watch the world explode

And I swear it was beautiful, befor they sent those aeroplanes
And I thought I would show it to you, just like my dad did
Hometown come tumbling down

When she came on a friday
I took her home the long way
So she could see
And she asked how they made it, and would they ever change it
I said no way
It's half of what you see, you none of what you hear believe
And I told her that they remind me of mowtown 60 skinny ties
What they thought the future looked like, where the jetsons' lived
Hometown come tumbling down

And watched it and we cried
And we ran to the front line
And some came home
But I stay off the express-way
Nothing to see there anyway
That view sucks now
There was I time the brooklyn traffic couldn't get me down

And I swear it was beautiful
I hope they build them tall again
Until then your imagination is all that you will have...
