Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) Lyrics

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.
