7th Trombone Songtext / Lyric

Down the stairs the fallout shelter

Destination of mankind

the citizens of our hometown

waiting silently and blind

Are you joking are you kidding

there's no solution to the end

the countryman sings on the air

that some broken hearts never mend

Empty streets and an imaginary skyline

not to find in tourists' guides

liberty has lost its feet

a view on missing city lights

Sheets so wet and within I sweat

a worm inside the Big Apple

I awake from sleep and I start to weep

the end has not yet started started to happen

Ten minutes to midnight

hide run just a few seconds to live

ten minutes to midnight

a fatal mistake the world will not forgive

Ten minutes to midnight

hide run just a few seconds to live

ten minutes to midnight

a fatal mistake the world will not forgive

While melting away ...

we're melting away.
