And if the snowBuries myMy neighborhood And if my parents are cryingThen I'll dig a tunnelFrom my window to yoursYeah, a tunnelFrom my window to yours You climb out the chimneyAnd meet me in the middleThe middle of the town And since there's no one else aroundWe let our hair grow longAnd forget all we used to knowThen our skin gets thickerFrom living out in the snow You change all the leadSleepin' in my headAs the day grows dimI hear you sing a golden hymn Then we tried to name our babiesBut we forgot all the names thatThe names we used to know But sometimes we remember our bedroomsAnd our parents' bedroomsAnd the bedrooms of our friendsThen we think of our parentsWell, what ever happened to them? You change all the leadSleeping in my head to goldAs the day grows dimI hear you sing a golden hymnIt's the song I've been trying to say Purify the colorsPurify my mindPurify the colorsPurify my mind And spread the ashes of the colorsOver this heart of mine

Hey!The streetlights all burnt out.Une année sans lumière.Je monte un cheval,Qui porte des oeillères. Hey, my eyes are shooting sparks,La nuit, mes yeux t'éclairent.Ne dis pas à ton pèreQu'il porte des oeillères. 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'éclairent,Ne dis pas à ton pèreQu'il porte des oeillères. Hey, your old man should know,If you see a shadow,There's something there

I woke up with the power outNot really something to shout aboutIce has covered up my parents' handsDon't have any dreams, don't have any plans I went out into the nightI went out to find some lightKids are swingin' from the power linesNobody's home, so nobody minds I woke up on the darkest nightNeighbors all shoutin' that they found the light"We found the light"Shadows jumpin' all over my wallsSome of them big, some of them small I went out into the nightI went out to pick a fight with anyoneLight a candle for a kidJesus Christ, don't keep it hid Ice has covered up my parents' handsDon't have any dreams, don't have any plansGrowin' up in some strange stormNobody's cold, nobody's warm I went out into the nightI went out to find some lightKids are dyin' out in the snowLook at 'em go, look at 'em go And the power's out in the heart of manTake it from your heartPut it in your handHandWhat's the plan?What's the plan? Is it a dream, is it a lie?I think I'll let you decideJust light a candle for the kidsJesus Christ, don't keep it hid 'Cause nothing's hid from us kidsYou ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out And the power's out in the heart of manTake it from your heart, put it in your handAnd there's something wrong in the heart of manTake it from your heart, put it in your hand Hand, ha-ha-hand Where'd you go?

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 is 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 mebecause 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 meIf you still want me, please forgive me,cause the spark 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!

I am waitin' 'til I don't know when'Cause I'm sure it's gonna happen thenTime keeps creepin' through the neighborhoodKilling old folks, wakin' up babies just like we knew it would All the neighbors are startin' up a fireBurning all the old folks the witches and the liarsMy eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kidsBut my heart keeps watchin' through the skin of my eyelids They say a watched pot won't ever boilWell I closed my eyes and nothing changedJust some water Getting hotter In the flames It's not a lover I want no moreAnd it's not heaven I'm pining forBut there's some spirit I used to knowThat's been drowned out by the radio They say a watched pot won't ever boilYou can't raise a baby on motor oilJust like a seed Down in the soil You gotta give it time

Somethin' filled upMy 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 causin' rain storms, turnin' every good thing torust.I guess we'll just have to adjust!... With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'I can see where I am goin' to beWhen the reaper he reaches and touches my hand. With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'I can see where I am goin'With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'I can see where I am go-goin' You better look out below!

Haïti, mon paysWounded mother I'll never seeMa famille set me free Throw my ashes into the sea Mes cousins jamais nésHantent les nuits des DuvalierRien n'arrête nos espritsGuns can't kill what soldiers can't see In the forest we are hiding Unmarked graves where flowers growHear the soldiers angry yellingIn the river we will go Tous les morts-nés forment une arméeSoon we will reclaim the earthAll the tears and all the bodies Bring about our second birth Haïti, never free N'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarmeTes enfants sont partisIn those days their blood was still warm.

I like the peaceIn the backseatI don't have to driveI don't have to speakI can watch the countrysideAnd I can fall asleep My family tree'sLosing all its leavesCrashing towards the driver's seatThe lightning bolt made enough heatTo melt the street beneath your feet Alice diedIn the nightI've been learning to driveMy whole lifeI've been learning I like the peaceIn the backseatI don't have to driveI don't have to speakI only can watch the countryside... Alice diedIn the nightI've been learning to driveMy whole lifeI've been learning how
