Power Out Songtext
von Arcade Fire

I woke up with the power out,
Not really somethin 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 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 eyes,
don′t know how to see, don′t know how to cry.
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 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 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 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?!
