Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
I woke up with the power out,Not really something to shout about.Ice has covered up my parents' hands,Don't have any dreams,Don't have any plans.
I went out into the night,I went out to find some light.Kids are swinging from the power lines,Nobody's home, so nobody minds
I woke up on the darkest night,Neighbors all were shouting that they found the light"We found the light."Shadows jumping all over my walls,Some of them big, some of them small.
I went out into the nightI went out to pick a fight with anyone.Light a candle for the kids,Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!
Ice has covered up my parents' eyes,Don't know how to see, don't know how to cry.Growing up in some strange storm,Nobody's cold, nobody's warm.
I went out into the night,I went out to find some light.Kids are dying out in the snow, look at them goLook at them go!And the power's out in the heart of man,Take it from your heart, put it in your hand.
What's the plan?What's the plan?Is it a dream?Is it a lie?I think I'll let you deceide.Just light a candle for the kids,Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!'Cause nothing's hidden from us kids!You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out!
And the power's out in the heart of man,Take it from your heart, put it in your hand.And there's something wrong in the heart of man,You take it from your heart and put it in your hand!Where'd you go?!
