The world will have no thunder or snow When the internet is gone We’ll listen to the radio A ghost wearing a long black jacket She dreamed of being an actress One thousand birds in a six foot backyard Her grandchildren will remember her Three sisters and three daughters She looked out at a point above the crowd Thought her pets would be lonely Why were you shy? Sleeping in beehives? Travel the world where stars are created “May I have your attention please, ladies and gentlemen - this is very important.” People will need batteries to live We see the sunset And the fight is over Decomposers and Producers

I know about love Love is when you’re in love I know of the moon The moon it makes it’s own light We can’t see the other side Drunk cat smokes Rosaluz David Hayes Hammer cries all night Love is sad Mexico is hot And the moon is a heart full of holes You know Traslir cares Protects the mayor The boys are so happy that they roar The girls are so happy that they rock and roll with the band ooga booga is a monster in Milwaukee

Help us invent the light bulb again I can take the lead I am the spring morning sunlight The beginning of new things Last night I had a dream Of new inventions What will power it all? Spring can rain, People see that I’ve changed, They’ll know how we survived I do a lot in this world, I almost got hit, We must try not to die We survive like Deja Vu We grow our own food I was fighting in an army when the flowers bloomed

Get out your momma’s house Find some food and shelter outside Save all the animals Work and learn and clap and stomp We can all live on a plane Shoes and hair and markers, passing notes and songs and instruments Speak what your heart will tell Take care of friends and mind and body Learn all things we clean the earth Get some rest sun people help us We would not be living here without friends to do stuff with My love is speaking out My friends my city my love my life

Heart. Rhythm. Love. Sound. My brothers and sisters cheering me on I can surprise you I live on Georgia Avenue I can call the police I can treat my neighbors honestly I represent my family But man I love to party I taught my sister to dance I honestly love Thought I was in a band I gave my neighbor some money I live on Randolph Street Se que el espejo nunca me miente Soy mitad mariposa abriendo las alas Soy como el sol a media luz Soy como el sol Heart. Rhythm. Love. Sound. I taught my brother So he can be proud of me I learned words I’ll tell you a joke Flowers are important and so are ghosts I learned to tell time Learned to be safe I’ll pass you the ball and you’ll pass it back to me
