on every corner you saw ECHO carrying the STATEN banner. bringing you the news for NINE YEARS. SIXTEEN YEARS OLD and A VICTIM OF RETROGRADE AMNESIA, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day, all that changed.

❥puppy loveSo that's what they call a family: Mudder, fadder, daughter, son
❥crushGuess everything you heard about is true. So you ain't got any family
❥currentWell, who said you needed one? Ain'tcha glad nobody's waiting up for you?
❥futureWhen I dream on my own I'm alone, but I ain't lonely For a dreamer, night's the only time of day
❥possible loveWhen the city's finally sleeping When my thoughts begin to stray
❥past loveAnd I'm on the train that bound for Santa Fe.
❥all a showAnd I'm free, like the wind, like Im gonna live forever.
❥fleeting glancesIt's a feeling time can never take away. All I needs a few more dollars
❥emotional dependenceAnd I'm outta here to stay. Dreams come true, yes they do, in Santa Fe.
