we are needed, the signal
put down the wine cooler darling
help me pry yr face from my hands
outside the window can you see it
clinging to the sky like a desperate
postcard ransomed into a mailbox night
calling us into action angel together we
will make the difference we are needed
darling we’re always needed you grab the
grappling hooks i’ll find us some styling gel
this world is heart wrecked and screaming
bleeding in the streets for love there’s no time
to lose you grab the super hero boots and
what’s left of the pesto these movies were due
back yesterday we’re going to have late fees
again we’ll have to remember to
return them later you put yr boots
on, i’ll grab the capes
