Isn't it interesting how it all went down? Couldn't have made it up if ya tried Down on the dead end street At the guardrail, across from her house Where all our friends hung out Smoking joints into the wee hours Just blissfully hanging around Talking shit and fooling about Never knew it could all come down That morning, it all fell down You can try but you'll never know the reason why The fates take a man 'fore his time How can the hurt disappear How can the the grief reside If ya never know the reason why? On that fateful day in a flash of pain When the towers came down on fire I lost a friend, was a damn good man And it echoes through my time Yeah It echoes through our time Isn't it interesting, how you never know? When freedom will sting, what karma can bring, no no When men devout are determined to die out loud and bring pain When leaders devout only ask ya to spend more money in vain Just blissfully shop head down Never question how this came about Ain't no way to figure it out That morning, it all fell down You can try but you'll never know the reason why The fates take a man 'fore his time How can the hurt disappear How can the the grief reside If ya never know the reason why? On that fateful day in a flash of pain When the towers came down on fire I lost a friend, was a damn good man And it echoes through my time Yeah It echoes through our time I miss the innocent delights, down at the guardrail Those sacred nights I miss my childhood friend, his sardonic wit His hilarious bent I raise a toast to you all You lost your loved ones, you paid the cost I wish you all, my best May they rest In peace, without end You can try but you'll never know the reason why The fates take a man 'fore his time How can the hurt disappear How can the the grief reside If ya never know the reason why? On that fateful day in a flash of pain When the towers came down on fire I lost a friend, was a damn good man And it echoes through my time Yeah It echoes through our time And it echoes through my time And it echoes through our time
