Danny Jones - Silence Of The City lyrics
Your rating:
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 refuted 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 fire's an act of war The Big Apple is in all too the cold And two tall towers Crumble to the floor And Manhattan is a lair Cause there is no more CHORUS And hardened New York cops With tears in their eyes Tired and all the firefighters Hoping to hear cries And the numerous paramedics Overcome by exhaustion and all Rescue workers feel the deep emotion CHORUS The 11th of September 2001 The World Trade Centre 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 admire before, Tall twin towers, To plea of them no more Silence of the city (7x) Silence
