A recorded reading of “Township Echo”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Lights blink awake; taxi hooters gossip at the rank. Tail lights wink; the lane grows musical. Shop doors sigh; the moon tries again to tug us out. Shadows dance; sneakers know where echoes go. we go. Hey yo, ayo, we glow. Jackets bright, signs lit, faces in a soft-flow river; radios laugh; the pavement brightens under us. Every step answers back, echo after echo. ayo, hear it grow. Sax threads a whistle; a low hum keeps the rhythm, and still we go, still we glow, until the snaps fade and the neon hum remains.
Lyrics
(Doop—doop) lights blink awake. Tail lights blink; streets wink—music down the lane. Shop doors sigh; moon tries, pulling us again. Shadows dance; sneakers know. (We go) where echoes go. Hey yo, ayo We go, we glow Hey yo, ayo We go, we glow Jackets bright, signs light, faces in a flow. Taxi radios laugh; pavement starts to glow. Every step answers back—echo after echo. (Ayo) hear it grow. (Wee-oo) sax sings. (Dee-dee) whistle rings. Ooo—keep the rhythm low. Ooo—we’re the afterglow. Hey yo, ayo We go, we glow Hey yo, ayo We go, we glow (Snaps fade… neon hum…)
