Hurricane Irene Threw a tantrum in the yard She shook us from our dreams On the day that marks Ten years of heavy fog Tree limbs ripped off at the seams Then the sun came out Red wine and flood in the streets Count the cash in a pair of heels Looked out the window The current swallowed a couch It swept away everything My toes are curled My whole wide world The dance is fast He first is last It turns me upside down I gravitate To what is lost, not found My ribcage is your ribcage Out among the rubble We are one And free from want Free from division So blue, so white, Red Hot There's a bug on the screen And it's dying to get in Beating its own body And the plane overhead I don't know where it's going Every passenger has a plan Crawl, walk or fly A few steps or a thousand miles Hurry when we get hungry A toast to the revolution The landlord counts the walls Scrubs 'em down And swings the wrecking ball My toes are curled My whole wide world The dance is fast The first is last It turns me upside down I gravitate To what is lost, not found My ribcage is your ribcage Out among the rubble we are one And free from want, free from division So blue, so white, Red Hot Decade anniversary Forty seasons rebuilding Now a fresh catastrophe How loud can you scream? Can you still hear me? Wrap that flag 'round your waist And sing My toes are curled My whole wide world The dance is fast The first is last It turns me upside down I gravitate To what is lost, not found My ribcage is your ribcage Out among the rubble We are one And free from want Free from division So blue, so white, Red Hot
