lyrics

I remember your father calling for birdie
From the improvised bedroom where he was prisoner

We were pretending that we were dinosaurs
Your brother would punish us for being available

Under the turtle where we were buried
The older boys sensing some kind of difference

Somebody told me who we should laugh at
I reach for a new word not knowing its meaning

Bring me back
To the underplace
Bring me back

Gangling laughter trapped in the green room
Surely there's someone someone that’s caught your eye

Under my skin flowers are drinking
Quick through the locker room my fingers all bleeding

His name was Connor I haven't forgotten
The unsettled feeling I'd get when he'd speak to me

Somebody told me who we should laugh at
I reach for a new word not knowing it's me

Bring me back
To the underplace
Bring me back

As i drove south the northwoods receded
The trees all gave way to slumbering offices

Sprawled on the sidewalk 20 years later
Looking for oxygen I squeezed your shoulder tight
