And  if the snow
 Buries my
 My neighborhood
 And if my parents are crying
 Then I'll dig  a tunnel
 From my  window  to yours
 Yeah a  tunnel
 From my  window  to yours
You  climb out  the chimney
 And meet me in  the middle
 The middle of  the town
 And since there's no one else  around
 We let our  hair grow  long
 And forget  all we used  to know
 Then our skin  gets thicker
 From living  out in  the snow
You  change all the lead
 Sleepin' in my head
 As the day grows dim
 I hear you sing a golden hymn
Then  we tried to name  our babies
 But we forgot  all the names  that
 The names  we used  to know
 But sometimes, we remember  our bedrooms
 And our parent's bedrooms
 And the bedrooms of  our friends
 Then we think  of our parents,
 Well what  ever happened  to them
You  change all the lead
 Sleepin' in my head to gold
 As the day grows dim
 I hear you sing a golden hymn
 The song I've been trying to sing
Purify  the colors, purify my mind
 Purify the colors
 Purify my mind
 And spread the ashes of the colors, over  this heart of mine
ooooooooooh,  ooooooooooh |

 2. Neighborhood 2 (Laika)
 x4
Alexander, our  older brother
Set  out for, a  great adventure
He  tore our images, out  of his pictures
He  scratched our names out, of  all his letters
Our  mother should of
Just  named you Laika
Come  on Alex, you  can do it
Come  on Alex, there's  nothin' to it
If  you want somethin', don't  ask for nothin'
If  you want nothin', don't  ask for somethin'
Our  mother should of
Just  named you Laika
It's for  your own good
It's for  the neighborhood
 The neighborhood
Our  older brother, bit  by a vampire
For  a year we caught his tears  in a cup
And  now we're gonna, make  him drink it
Come  on Alex, don't die  or dry up
Our  mother should of
Just  named you Laika
It's for  your own good
It's for  the neighborhood
 The neighborhood
When  daddy comes home
 you always start  a fight
So  the neighbors can dance
 In the  police, disco lights
The  police, disco lights
Now  the neighbors can dance
 Now the neighbors can dance
 Now the neighbors can dance
Now  the neighbors can dance,  look at 'em dance
 3. Une Annee Sans Lumiere
 x2
Hey,  the streetlights  all burnt out
 Une annee sans  lumieres
 Je monte  un cheval
 Qui porte des  oeilleres
Hey,  my eyes  are shooting sparks
 La nuit,  mes yeux  t'eclairent
 Ne dis  pas a ton pere
 Qu'il porte des  oeillieres
Hey, your  old man should know
 If you  see a shadow
 there's something there
 So hey,  my eyes  are shooting sparks
 La nuit,  mes yeux  t'eclairent
 Ne dis  pas a ton pere
 Qu'il porte des  oeillieres
Hey, your  old man should know
 If you  see a shadow
 There's something there

 Fast Tempo:
 4. Neighborhood 3 (Power Out)
 x2
I  woke up with the power out, not really somethin' to shout about
Ice  has covered up my parent's 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 swingin' 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  jumpin' all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small
I  went out into the night I 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 hands, don't have any dreams don't have any plans
Growin'  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 dyin' out in the snow, look at them go,look at them go
 x4
 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 decide
 Just light  a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don't keep it hid
 Cause nothing's hid,  from us kids
 You ain't foolin' nobody,  with the lights out
 x4
 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
 Take it from  your heart  and put it in  your hand
Hand  ha ha hand,  where'd you go
 x2
 5. Neighborhood 4 (7 Kettles)
 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
 6. Crown Of Love
/:  420100
 They say it fades  if you let  it
 love  was made to forget  it
 I carved your name  across my eyelids
 You pray for rain  I pray for blindness
 If you still want  me, please forgive  me
 The crown of love  has fallen from  me
 If you still want  me, please forgive  me
 Because the spark  is not within  me
 I snuffed it out  before my mom  walked in my bedroom
 The only thing  that you keep changin'
 Is your name,  my love keeps growin'
 Still the same,  just like a cancer
 And you won’t give  me a straight answer
 If you still want  me, please forgive  me
 The crown of love  has fallen from  me
 If you still want  me please forgive  me
 Because your hands  are not upon  me
 I shrugged them off  before my mom  walked in my bedroom
 The pains of love,  and they keep growin'
 In my heart  there’s flowers growin'
 On the grave  of our old  love
 Since you gave  me a straight answer
 If you still want  me, please forgive  me
 The crown of love  is not upon  me
 If you still want  me, please forgive  me
 Cause this crown  is not within  me
 It’s not within  me, it’s not within  me
 You gotta be the one,  you gotta be the way
 Your name is the only  word that I can say
 
 You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
 Your name is the only word,  the only word that I can say
 The only word that I can say
 7. Wake Up
 Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
  Oh  oh, oh oh oh oh
  Oh  oh, oh oh oh oh
 Something filled up
 My heart with nothin'
 Someone told me not to cry
 But now that I'm older
 My heart's colder
 And I can see that it's a lie
 Children, wake up
 Hold your mistake up
 Before they turn the summer into dust
 If the children don't grow up
 Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're  just a million little gods causing rain storms
 Turning every good thing to rust
 I guess we'll just have to adjust
With  my lightning bolts a glowin'
I  can see where I am going  to be when
 The reaper he reaches and touches my hand
 x2
With  my lightning bolts  a glowin'
 I can see where I  am going
With  my lightning bolts  a glowin'
 I can see where I  am going
 Better look out below

Haiti,  mon pays
 Wounded mother  I’ll never see
 Ma famille  set me free
 Throw my ashes  into the sea
 x4
 Mes cousins  jamais nes
 Hantent les nuits  de Duvalier
 Rien n’arrete  nos espirits
 Guns can’t kill  what soldiers can’t see
 In the forest  we are hiding
 Unmarked graves  where flowers grow
 Hear the soldiers  angry yelling
 In the river  we will go
 Tous les morts-nes  forment une armee
 Soon we will  reclaim the earth
 All the tears  and all the bodies
 Bring about  our second birth
 Haiti,  never free
 n’aie pas peur  de sonner l’alarme
 Tes enfants  sont partis
 In those days  their blood was still warm
 9. Rebellion (Lies)
 x4
Sleeping  is giving in
 No matter  what the time is
Sleeping  is giving in
 So lift  those heavy eyelids
People  say that you'll die
Faster  than without water
But  we know it's just a lie
Scare  your son, scare your daughter
 x2
People  say that your dreams
 Are the only  things that save ya
Come  on baby in our dreams
We  can live our misbehavior
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
 Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
 Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
 Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
People  try and hide the night
Underneath  the covers
People  try and hide the light
Underneath  the covers
Come  on hide your lovers, underneath  the covers
Come  on hide your lovers, underneath  the covers
Hidin'  from your brothers, underneath  the covers
Come  on hide your lovers, underneath  the covers
 x2
People  say that you'll die
Faster  than without water
But  we know it's just a lie
Scare  your son, scare your daughter
Scare  your son, scare your daughter
Scare  your son, scare your daughter
 Now here's  the sun, it's alright, lies,  lies
 Now here's  the moon, it's alright, lies,  lies
 Now here's  the sun, it's alright, lies,  lies
 Now here's  the moon, it's alright, lies,  lies
 But every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
 But every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
Every  time you close your eyes, lies,  lies
 x8
 10. In The Backseat
I  like the peace,  in the backseat
I  don’t have to drive,  I don’t have to speak
I  can watch the country side,  and I can fall asleep
My  family tree's,  loosing all it’s leaves
Crashing  towards the driver's seat,  the lightning bolt made enough heat
 To melt  the street beneath your feet
 Alice died
 In the night
 I’ve been learning  to drive
 My whole life
 I’ve been learning
I  like the peace,  in the backseat
I  don’t have to drive,  I don’t have to speak
I  can watch the country side
 Alice died
 In the night
 I’ve been learning  to drive
 My whole life
 I’ve been learning Oh  ooooooooooh
 My Whole life

5. Neighborhood 


I am [G/B]waitin', 'til I don’t know [G]when
Cause I’m [A7Sus4]sure, it's gonna happen [G]then
Time keeps [G/B]creepin', through the neighbor[G]hood
Killing [A7Sus4]old folks, wakin' up babies just like we knew it [G]would

All the [G/B]neighbors, are startin' up a [G]fire
Burning all the [A7Sus4]old folks, the witches and the [G]liars
My eyes are [G/B]covered by the hands of my unborn [G]kids
But my heart keeps [A7Sus4]watchin', through the skin of my [G]eyelids

They say a [Cmaj7]watched pot, won’t ever [G]boil
              [Cmaj7]               [G]        [G/f#]
Well I closed my eyes and nothin’ changed
Just some [Em]water, getting [A]hotter, in the [G]flames

It's not a [G/B]lover I want no [G]more
And it’s not [A7Sus4]heaven, I’m pining [G]for
But there's some s[G/B]pirit I used to [G]know
That's been [A7Sus4]drowned out, by the [G]radio

[Cmaj7]They say a watched pot won't ever [G]boil
                  [Cmaj7]         [G]    [G/f#]
You can't raise a baby on motor oil
Just like a [Em]seed down in the [A]soil, you gotta give it [G]time

6. Crown Of Love

[E7]/[Ab]: 420100

They say it [C]fades if you [Fmaj7]let it
love[Gsus4] was made to fo[E7]rge[Ab]t it
I carved your [C]name across my [Fmaj7]eyelids
You pray for [Gsus4]rain I pray for [E7]bli[Ab]ndness

If you still [Am]want me, please for[F]give me
The crown of [C]love has fallen [G]from me
If you still [Am]want me, please for[F]give me
Because the [C]spark is not [G]within me

I snuffed it [C]out before my [Fmaj7]mom walked in my [C]bedroom

The only [C]thing that you keep [Fmaj7]changin'
Is your [Gsus4]name, my love keeps [E7]gro[Ab]win'
Still the [C]same, just like a [Fmaj7]cancer
And you won’t [Gsus4]give me a straight [E7]ans[Ab]wer

If you still [Am]want me, please for[F]give me
The crown of [C]love has fallen [G]from me  [E7]     [Ab]
If you still [Am]want me please forg[F]ive me
Because your [C]hands are not up[G]on me

I shrugged them [C]off before my [Fmaj7]mom walked in my [C]bedroom

The pains of [C]love, and they keep [Fmaj7]growin'
In my [Gsus4]heart there’s flowers g[E7]row[Ab]in'
On the [C]grave of our [Fmaj7]old love
Since you [Gsus4]gave me a straight a[E7]nsw[Ab]er

If you still [Am]want me, please for[F]give me
The crown of [C]love is not u[G]pon me  [E7]     [Ab]
If you still [Am]want me, please for[F]give me
Cause this [C]crown is not wi[C/Ab]thin me
It’s not wi[C/G]thin me, it’s not w[C/F]ithin me

You gotta be the [C/G]one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the [C/F]only word that I can say
                 [C/G]

You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the only [C/F]word, the only word that I can [C/G]say   [C/Ab]
The only word that I can [C/G]say   [C/Ab]

[C] If the children don't grow up [C/B]
[Am] Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
[F]We're just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to [C]rust
I guess we'll just have to ad[C]just  [C/B]      [Am]         [F]            [C]

Tes en[G]fants sont pa[Em]rtis
In those [G]days their blood was still [Em]warm
