Lyrics
| Title | Lyrics |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) | And if the snow buries my My neighborhood And if my parents are crying Then I'll dig a tunnel From my window to yours Yeah, a tunnel From my window to yours You climb out of the chimney And meet me in the middle The middle of the town And since there's no one else around We let our hair grow long ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Neighborhood #2 (Laïka) | Alexander, our older brother Set out for a great adventure He tore our images out of his pictures He scratched our names out of all his letters Our mother should have just named you Laika Come on Alex, you can do it Come on Alex, there's nothing to it If you want something, don't ask for nothing If you want nothing, don't ask for something ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Une Année Sans Lumiere | Hey! The streetlights all burnt out Une année sans lumière Je monte un cheval Qui porte des œillères Hey, my eyes are shooting sparks La nuit, mes yeux t'éclairent N'dis pas à ton père Qu'il porte des œillères ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) | 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 ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) | I am waitin' 'til I don't know when 'Cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood Killing old folks, wakin' up babies just like we knew it would All the neighbors are startin' up a fire Burning all the old folks, the witches and the liars My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Crown Of Love | They say it fades if you let it Love was made to forget it I carved your name across my eyelids You pray for rain, I pray for blindness If you still want me, please forgive me The crown of love has fallen from me If you still want me, please forgive me Because the spark is not within me I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom The only thing that you keep changin' Is your name, my love keeps growin' Still the same, just like a cancer ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Wake Up | Something filled up My heart with nothing Someone told me not to cry But now that I'm older My heart's colder And I can see that it's a lie Children wake up ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Haiti | Haïti, mon pays Wounded mother I'll never see Ma famille set me free Throw my ashes into the sea Mes cousins jamais nés Hantent les nuits de Duvalier Rien n'arrête nos esprits ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| Rebellion (Lies) | Sleeping is giving in No matter what the time is Sleeping is giving in So lift those heavy eyelids People say that you'll die Faster than without water But we know it's just a lie Scare your son and scare your daughter People say that your dreams Are the only things that save ya Come on baby in our dreams, We can live our misbehaviour Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies) Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies) Every time you close your eyes (Lies, lies) ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
| In The Backseat | I like the peace in the backseat I don't have to drive I don't have to speak I can watch the countryside And I can fall asleep My family tree's losing all its leaves Crashing towards the driver's seat The lightning bolt made enough heat ... ******* This Lyrics is NOT for Commercial use ******* (1409623739512) |
