Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) Songtext

von Arcade Fire

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 and forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

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?

You change all the lead
Sleeping 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
