Arcade Fire lyrics - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

album: Funeral (2004)
genre:

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 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 
Growing 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 dying 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...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 a light a candle for the kids 
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid 
Cause nothing's hid from us kids! 
You ain't fooling 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 
Take it from you heart 
Put in in your hand... 
Where'd you go?
