Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) Lyrics
I am waitin' 'til I don't know whenCause I'm sure it's gonna happen thenTime keeps creepin' through the neighborhoodKilling old folks, wakin' up babies just like we knew it wouldAll the neighbors are startin' up a fireBurning all the old folks; the witches and the liarsMy eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kidsBut my heart keeps watchin' through the skin of my eyelidsThey say a watched pot won't ever boilWell, I closed my eyes and nothin' changedJust some water getting hotter in the flamesIt's not a lover I want no moreAnd it's not heaven I'm pining forBut there's some spirit I used to knowThat's been drowned out by the radioThey say a watched pot won't ever boilYou can't raise a baby on motor oilJust like a seed down in the soil you gotta give it time
