Tuesday Lyrics
One year like any old other year
In a week like any week
Monday lying down
Half asleep
People doing what people do
Loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls
Of Seventh Avenue
Then Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again
The thing about memories
They're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls
Left upon her blade
Is Monday coming back
That's what Mondays do
They Turn and Turn around
Afraid to see it through
Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The Letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again
Tuesday Came and went one
One September, When?
Cold and dressed in red
How could I forget
Tuesday Came and went
Like a Helicopter overhead
Will she come again
In a week like any week
Monday lying down
Half asleep
Loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls
Of Seventh Avenue
Like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
One September
When will she come again
They're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls
Left upon her blade
That's what Mondays do
They Turn and Turn around
Afraid to see it through
Like a helicopter overhead
The Letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
One September
When will she come again
Tuesday Came and went one
One September, When?
Cold and dressed in red
How could I forget
Like a Helicopter overhead
Will she come again

I don't know what to think about this song... sometimes I think it's about a woman, then the next time I listen to it, it's about 9/11. It's a wonderful song, but it confuses me.
I'm positive this is about 9/11 - Tuesday, September, portraits on the wall, and then in the CD liner there is an American flag image behind the lyrics. But I'm not sure who exactly he's waiting for to come back - Tuesday (the next Tuesday will everything be normal again?), an actual woman who was killed, a woman who was looking for someone? I'm not sure.
I think there is no doubt that Ondrasik is referring to 9-11 and the message is "Don't forget". If we let it fade like a memory, it may come back again!
