Track Name: Decomposers and Producers
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
Track Name: The Ballad of David Hayes Hammer
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
Track Name: What Will Power It All
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
Track Name: I Was Born In Ohio
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
Track Name: hEaRt rHYthm LuV sOUnd
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
