Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am waitin'
Till I don't know when
'Cause I'm sure it's
Gonna happen then
Time keeps creepin'
Through the neighborhood
Killin' old folks
Wakin' up babies, just like we knew it would
[Verse 2]
All the neighbors are startin' up a fire
Burnin' 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
[Chorus]
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
Well I closed my eyes and nothin' changed
Just some water
Gettin' hotter
In the flames
[Verse 3]
Not a lover
I want no more
And it's not Heaven
I'm pinin' for
But there's some spirit
I used to know
That's been drowned out
By the radio
[Chorus]
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
Can't raise a baby on motor oil
Just like a seed
Down in the soil
Gotta give it time
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
