Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) lyrics

I woke up with the power out
Not really something to shout about
Ice has covered up my parents' hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are swinging from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shouting that
They found the light (We found the light)
Shadows jumping all over my walls
Some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!

Hoo oo hoo oo
Hoo oo



Ice has covered up my parents' hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
Growing up in some strange storm
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are dying out in the snow
Look at them go, look at them go!

Hoo oo hoo oo
Hoo oo oo oo

And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
Hand what's the plan?
What's the plan?

Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide
Just light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!
Because nothing's hid from us kids!
You ain't fooling nobody
With the lights out!

And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
And there's something wrong in
The heart of man
You take it from your heart and
Put it in your hand! Where'd you go?
