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
