Hometown

[Verse 1]

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

[Refrain]

And I swear it was beautiful before they sent those airplanes

And I thought I would show them to you just like my dad did

Home town come tumbling down

[Verse 2]

When she came on that sunday

I took her home the long way

So she could see

And she asked when they made it

And would they ever change it

I said no way

Is half of what you see and none of what you hear believe

[Refrain]

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

Home town come tumbling down

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]

We watched it and we cried

And we ran to the front line

And some came home

And 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

[Refrain]

I swear it was beautiful

I hope they build it tall again

Until then your imagination is all that you will have...

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

East Side, West Side

All around the town

(?)

With all the Bridges Falling Down

Boys and girls together

Me and maybe your heart

(?)

On the sidewalks of New York
