lyrics

Beautiful children in dangerous places
Jury rigging autonomous spaces
Pushing boundaries, taking risks
This is why the city exists

You go to get to where it's at
A place with something nowhere else has
the underground will not stay shut down
spaces grow to match the longing

Let the big top rise
Something out of nothing

Miracles of transformation
Breathe new life into abandoned spaces
Breweries, storefronts, old warehouses
Drills and hammers come out to play

No one notices what you’re up to
Money’s short—energy is long
Take this wreckage, apply your vision
Turn up, build it, total freedom

Where is the wilderness?
Where do the wild things go?

Back when we were young and fearless
Didn't watch TV at night
Didn't have no internet then
It took invention to get our kicks

Mouths all chatting heads all buzzing
Stumbling down the avenue
Walk the gauntlet to the crucible
Wonders hidden in the rubble
Searching for only the good kind of trouble

May you be safe tonight
Live to create tonight

Find yourself in a thousand warehouses
Directions given in secret code
No one here's got an NEA grant
They just throw together all they've gathered

Came of age in a thousand warehouses
All I learned and all I forgot
Dirty dens of transformation
Everything the everyday is not

A thousand scenes in a thousand warehouses
Cover the walls and cover the floors
New perspectives scramble the senses
Things you've never heard or seen before

May you be safe tonight
Live to create tonight

Innovation art and genius
No more neglect no more disaster
Love invention guts and power
We demand a better future NOW

The best and the brightest,
We'll never forget you

Where is the wilderness?
Where do the wild things go?

Nowadays I tend to stay home
But I hope you’re out there
Starting it all over.
Let a thousand warehouses bloom
We have things to make.

(Somewhere between the National Endowment for the Arts,
The leadership of Congress,
And the President of the United States,
Let’s give our kids something great to do
Build them an empire of creativity
So they’ll be safe.
Come on guys, you had your fun.
Get off it. Give it to the kids. Make them happy.)
