Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

I am waitin' 'til I don't know when 'Cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood Killing old folks, wakin' up babies Just like we knew it would All the neighbors are startin' up a fire Burning all the old folks the witches and the liars My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids But my heart keeps watchin' Through the skin of my eyelids They say a watched pot won't ever boil Well I closed my eyes and nothin' changed Just some water getting hotter in the flames It's not a lover I want no more And it's not heaven I'm pining for But there's some spirit I used to know That's been drowned out by the radio They say a watched pot won't ever boil You can't raise a baby on motor oil Just like a seed down in the soil You gotta give it time --- Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) - Arcade Fire
