Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) (2005-01: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA, USA) Songtext
von Arcade Fire

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 swingin′ from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
(We found the light)
Shadows jumpin′ all over the 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

And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart put in your hand
(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 nothin's hid, 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 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, the lights out, hand, right now, hand)
