 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

  [G/f#]

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

  [G/f#]

You can’t raise a baby on motor oil

 Just like a seed down in the soil you gotta give it time
