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 
Staring 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)
