THE ARCADE FIRE - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) lyrics

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?!
