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
|
