(a birthday performance-poem for lunaisla)
Now, burn.
Burn baby, burn.
Burn baby burn like the fire in your wild hair
Burn baby burn the way you never cared
Burn baby burn and let them stop and stare
Burn baby burn the house down everywhere
Burn baby burn like a rocket to the moon
Burn baby burn like a wedding in June
Burn like you do as if you were dying soon
Burn so hot like a trip hop tune
Burn like the stars and the sun on supernova
Burn like as beneath the oceans as far as your tank can take ya
Burn like a surfer in a barrel in Lanuza
Burn baby burn because 30's just a number
Burn baby burn like a revolution down at EDSA
Burn like a person worse than a motherfucker (whatever that means)
Burn like a sizzling bass riff from Esperanza
Burn baby burn like a legendary banda
Burn baby burn just like a one-hit wonder
Burn baby burn because 30's just a number
Burn baby burn baby soul on fire
Burn baby burn baby soul on fire
Burn baby burn baby soul on fire
Burn because when you were born, you were born on fire.
