Hometown Songtext / Lyric

I'd 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 stay and watch the world explode



And I swear it was beautiful before they sent those airplanes

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

Half of what you see and none of what you hear believe



And I told her I that they remind me of Motown, sixties, skinny ties,

What they thought the future looked like where the Jetsons lived.



Hometown come tumbling down



And we watched it and we cried

And we ran to the front line

And some came home



But I stay off the expressway

Nothing to see there anyway

That view sucks now



But there was a 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
