Silence Of The City ( Danny Jones ) Songtext

von McFly

It was Tuesday afternoon
I got home from work quite soon
I turned on the TV and
What did I see
I saw world war 3
Staring back at me
I thought I mite wake up to reality
There wasn't gonna be
And all I could see was this
Horrific tragedy

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
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
Defy this act of war
Big apple is numb to the core
And 2 tall towers
Crumble to the floor
And Manhattan is a layer
Cause they're no more

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
Smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

And hardened New York cops
With tears in their eyes
Tired and worn out fire-fighters
Hoping to hear cries
Emergency medics overcome by exhaustion
And our rescue workers filled with deep emotion

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
Smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

11th of September 2001
World Trade Centre and the US Pentagon
These pictures that we see
Almost defies belief
On the streets of New York City
People all hit by shared grief

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
Smiles are washed away
In the silence of the city
There's nothing left to say

The New York City sky line
We all admired before
Tall twin towers
Simply are there no more

The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence of the city
The silence
