0:27I am waiting until I don't know when
0:35Because I'm sure it's going to happen then
0:43Time keeps creeping through the neighborhood
0:52Killing old folks waking up babies just like we knew it would
1:19All the neighbors are starting up a fire
1:27Burning all the old folks the witches and the liars
1:36My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids
1:45But my heart keeps watching through the skin of my eyelids
1:54They say a watched pot won't ever boil
2:03Well I closed my eyes and nothing changed
2:12Just some water getting hotter in the flames
2:48It's not a lover I want no more
2:56And it's not heaven I'm pining for
3:05But there's some spirit I used to know
3:14That's been drowned out by the radio
3:23They say a watched pot won't ever boil
3:32You can't raise a baby on motor oil
3:40Just like a seed down in the soil you've got to give it time
I am waiting until I don't know when Because I'm sure it's going to happen then Time keeps creeping through the neighborhood Killing old folks waking up babies just like we knew it would All the neighbors are starting 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 watching through the skin of my eyelids They say a watched pot won't ever boil Well I closed my eyes and nothing 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've got to give it time
