Midnight, New York City
Broadway going up in flames
Ground zero, big city
Big Apple swallowed by the flames
(Bombs away) Yeah, we never saw it coming
(Bombs away) Till the bombs started falling
(Bombs away) Yeah, we never saw it coming
(Bombs away) Till the bombs started falling down
To seal our fate, no time to run
Now it's too late
Countdown 5-4-3-2-1
The end is near, baby, here it comes
The neon lights of the city burn
The sirens warn:
Bombs over Broadway
Lady Liberty is laid to rest
"Give me liberty or give me death"
Her dream died with her last request
She didn't expect
Bombs over Broadway
So long Manhattan Island
Our pride in you had no end
New York, New York
Our pride has done you in
(Bombs away) Yeah, we never saw it coming
(Bombs away) Till the bombs started falling
(Bombs away) Yeah, we never saw it coming
(Bombs away) Till the bombs started falling down
To seal our fate, no time to run
Now it's too late
Countdown 5-4-3-2-1
The end is near, baby, here it comes
The neon lights of the city burn
The sirens warn:
Bombs over Broadway
Lady Liberty is laid to rest
"Give me liberty or give me death"
Her dream died with her last request
She didn't expect
Bombs over Broadway
Lights out
New York City
You were the first
But you won't be the last . . .
