Riff x2
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 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
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
From living out in the snow
Chorus:
You change all the lead
Sleepin in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
Riff
Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms
And our parent s bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents,
Well what ever happened to them
Chorus:
You change all the lead
Sleepin in my head to gold
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I ve been trying to sing
Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors
Purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors, over this heart of mine
ooooooooooh, ooooooooooh |

And now we re gonna, make him drink it
Come on Alex, don t die or dry up

The neighborhood
When daddy comes home

So the neighbors can dance

Now the neighbors can dance, look at em dance

Capo 2

Hey, the streetlights all burnt out
Une annee sans lumieres

Ne dis pas a ton pere
Qu il porte des oeillieres

If you see a shadow

4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
==============================
Intro: x2
I woke up with the power out, not really somethin to shout about
Ice has covered up my parent s 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 hands, don t have any dreams don t have any plans
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
x4
Gm A7 Gm
And the power s out, in the heart of man
A7 Gm
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
N.
What s the plan, what s the plan
Is it a dream, is it a lie, I think I ll let you decide
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
x4
Gm A7 Gm
And the power s out, in the heart of man
A7 Gm
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand

E7/: 420100
Fmaj7
They say it fades if you let it
Gsus4 E7/
love was made to forget it
Fmaj7
I carved your name across my eyelids

The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me

Fmaj7
The only thing that you keep changin

The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me

The pains of love, and they keep growin
Gsus4 E7/
In my heart there’s flowers growin
Fmaj7
On the grave of our old love

Since you gave me a straight answer
If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me

7. Wake Up
==========
Intro:
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Something filled up
My heart with nothin
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
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don t grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We re just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we ll just have to adjust
D#
With my lightning bolts a glowin
D#
I can see where I am going to be when
The reaper he reaches and touches my hand
x2
With my lightning bolts a glowin
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts a glowin
I can see where I am going
Better look out below

Haiti, mon pays
Wounded mother I’ll never see
Ma famille set me free
Throw my ashes into the sea
x4
Mes cousins jamais nes
Hantent les nuits de Duvalier
Rien n’arrete nos espirits
Guns can’t kill what soldiers can’t see
In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go
Tous les morts-nes forment une armee
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth
Haiti, never free
n’aie pas peur de sonner l’alarme
Tes enfants sont partis
In those days their blood was still warm
