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
