Music

It was Tuesday afternoon
I got home from work right soon
I turned on the TV and what did I see?
I saw World War III staring back at me
I thought I might wake up to reality
There wasn't gonna be (yeah)
And all I could see was this tragedy

CHORUS:
In the silence of the city
No mobile phones ring
In the silence of the city
You cannot hear a thing
In the silence of the city
The smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

New York, New York,
So good they named you twice
The city that never sleeps
Do you believe your eyes?
If I disected war
The Big Apple is eaten to the core
And two tall towers
Crumble to the floor
And Manhattan isn't there
Cause there is no more

CHORUS

And hardened New York cops
With tears in their eyes
Tired and *worn out* firefighters
Hoping to hear cries
And *emergency medics*
Overcome by exhaustion and all
Rescue workers feel the deep emotion


CHORUS

The 11th of September 2001
The World Trade *Center* and the US Pentagon
These pictures that we've seen
Almost defies belief
On the streets of New York City,
People are hit by shear grief


CHORUS

The New York City Skyline
We all *admired* before,
Tall twin towers,
*Simply are there no more*
Silence of the city (7x)
Silence
