Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) lyrics
[Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #4 7 Kettles lyrics]
I am waiting 'til I don't know when
'Cause, I'm sure it's gonna happen then
Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood
Killing old folks
Waking up babies just like we knew it would
All the neighbors are starting 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 watching through
The skin of my eyelids
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
Well I closed my eyes and nothing 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've got to give it time
'Cause, I'm sure it's gonna happen then
Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood
Killing old folks
Waking up babies just like we knew it would
All the neighbors are starting 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 watching through
The skin of my eyelids
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
Well I closed my eyes and nothing 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've got to give it time
