Down the stairs the fallout shelter Destination of mankind The citizens of our hometown Waiting silently and blind Are you joking are you kidding There`s no solution to the end The countryman sings on the air That some broken hearts never mend Empty streets and an imaginary skyline Not to find in tourists` guides Liberty has lost its feet A view on missing city lights Sheets so wet and within I sweat A worm inside the Big Apple I awake from sleep and I start to weep The end has not yet started started to happen Ten minutes to midnight Hide run just a few seconds to live Ten minutes to midnight A fatal mistake the world will not forgive Ten minutes to midnight Hide run just a few seconds to live Ten minutes to midnight A fatal mistake the world will not forgive While melting away ... We`re melting away.
