Uncool Scene
Shifty eyed men and women
standing around on a summer evening
Passing by them
I hear grumbling and veiled threats
Pays to be careful
You don't want to become a newspaper crime story
or another statistic
Summer in the vast metropolis
Exciting yet dangerous
I hurry past the crowd
On the way to see my woman
She, too must be careful
to avoid an uncool scene
city life requires caution
So one can make the night smile
In this - the asphalt homeland
