Andelman's Yard Songtext

von Mike Gordon

If you could go back to your old town
But this time dig a hole and tunnel underground
You'd be doing what I do
When I'm dreaming hard in a maze of tunnels in the Andelmans' yard

I forgot my problems, or so it seems
I was able to leave them in another dream
But I got my friends and we're running hard
A few feet beneath the fallen leaves in the Andelmans' yard

When your voice is loud and I'm feeling small
And I don't even feel like saying anything at all
Don't be concerned if I'm caught off guard
My mind was trying to burrow like a groundhog in the Andelmans' yard

Sometimes when it's dark and the dirt is damp
Pop up my head and I don't know where the hell I am
And I take my mission back to my old boulevard
I've got things to rearrange beneath the surface of the Andelmans' yard

And everyone around sees the surface talk
And all the folks seem similar everywhere you walk
To step beneath those layers like a glass shard
Come with me to my old street and we'll run beneath the Andelmans' yard
