  • I did not take to analysis so
    I had to make up my mind
    And hold it for a while
    I would not just leave you without a kiss
    But I guess there must come a time
    When there's no more tears to cry

    Thieves and snakes need homes
    Need homes
    Barricade

    It starts to feel like a barricade
    To keep us away
    To keep us away, it kind of does
    It starts to feel like a barricade
    To keep us away
    Keep us away

    I could not lean on the politics
    'Cause I didn't want to train my eye
    To hold so short a time
    Oh so high, just don't know where
    The blind could lead the sightless
    But I still like to witness
    Thieves and snakes need homes
    Need homes
    Barricade

    It starts to feel like a barricade
    To keep us away
    To keep us away, it kind of does
    It starts to feel like a barricade
    To keep us away
    Keep us away

    Full speed half blind full tilt decline
    We turn to past times
    Full speed half blind

    (You know us)
    (You know us)
    (I'm sorry)
    (Say I'm sorry)

    Sometimes it feel like a barricade
    To keep us away
    To keep us away, it kind of does
    And how much steel can you fabricate
    To keep us away
    You know us

    Full speed half blind full tilt decline
    We turn to past times full speed half blind
    Full speed half blind full tilt decline
    Onto all time full speed half blind Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
