Mike Gordon - Andelmans' Yard lyrics

rate me

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
