Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) lyrics

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

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
It’s 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!
