a rush of sirens
beneath the hush
of october's dusk

New York City
Rolling with life
Empathising with others
Piano concerto
Sweet 16 as a criminal
I never regretted it a bit
Because...

Are you going to the dance?
I'd take a chance;

Do you know I write your name
and you're to blame
if I fail this test...
