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
