Windowsill Songtext
von Arcade Fire

I don′t wannna hear the noises on TV
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don′t wanna live in my father's house no more

I don't want it faster, I don′t want it free
I don′t wanna show you what they done to me
I don't wanna live in my father′s house no more

I don't wanna choose black or blue
I don′t wanna see what they done to you
I don't wanna live in my father′s house no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don′t wanna give ′em my name and address
I don't wanna see what happens next
I don′t wanna live in my father's house no more

I don′t wanna live with my father's debt
You can′t forgive what you can't forget
I don't wanna live in my father′s house no more


I don′t wanna fight in a holy war
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don′t wanna live in America no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free
Set me free, what have you done to me?
I can't breathe, I can′t see

World War III, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free

The windows are locked now, so what′ll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill


I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill
I don′t wanna see it at my windowsill
