- SOUL
-
-
- Uncontrolled chain reactions of nuclear emotions,
- Fireballs of greed and hate and helplesness
- Sear the city .
- Pounding surges of primal screams,
- Raging fires of bottled-up minds and spirits
- Explode in undulating waves
- And the world cries for her ... for this city,
- This Los Angeles.
-
-
- Watch your backs ... dodge the bullets
- On your way to school ...
- Cry at the funeral of a young man
- You saw yesterday ... laughing at the sunshine
- And the world cries for her ... for this city,
- This Los Angeles.
-
-
- In the streets, rainbows of sweaty city folks sweep
- The burn-out shells of a million memories ...
- And a trickle of hope emerges
- From the parched and ashen earth ...
- And the world smiles through its tears
- With this city ...
- This Los Angeles.
-
-
- On the phosphor screen ...
- Messages from EveryCity, USA took us
- For a rollercoaster ride
- And brought laughter amidst
- Orange blossoms under an electric blue sky.
- In spring.
-
-
- Muchas gracias por nuestros almas.
