Hometown Lyrics - Too Soon Monsoon - Wheatus

I'd trade all my sunshine, for twin towers to hide behind 

and find you there 

And 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 them to you just like my dad did 

Home town come tumbling down 

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 

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. 

Home town come tumbling down 

So we sat down 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 

I swear it was beautiful I hope they build it tall again 

Til then your imagination is all that you will have
