<poem style="border: 1px solid #8eb6d4; background-color: #0b0b14; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 3em; border-radius: 10px; width: fit-content">
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes

Let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll

Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delight
Reins of steel and it’s all right
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Marshall will buoy, but Fender control

So let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll

My heart is black and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes

So let the girl, let that girl rock and roll
Cities on flame, now, with rock and roll</poem>
