Barricades |
| Hey! |
| You’re living in a dream |
| You’re burning all the oxygen here in your little room |
| Waiting for sleep to come |
| Maybe |
| You’re more than what it seems |
| Somewhere among the piles of ashes and broken glass |
| There is a sweet thing |
| So welcome to the party dreamer, it’s nice to meet you |
| You’ve got the world on your shoulders |
| What did they do to you to make |
| You hide your beautiful self with … |
| Barricades |
| Snakes crawling through ancient stones |
| Nobody’s holding your hand, no one’s making it easy |
| But I believe |
| You’ve got more power in the twist of one finger |
| Than all the tyrants and predators |
| The hypocrites will not rest at ease |
| A darker truth will bow down to you |
| I can only see you in silhouette |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Only broken moments are sacrosanct |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Your beautiful face, your beautiful face, your beautiful face |
| Behind those barricades |
| If you walk with barricades |
| You need a gimlet stare |
| You need a reptile handshake, the revolution |
| Singing kumbaya |
| 'cause one day they gonna throw their secrets back on your shoulders |
| You turn the old television off |
| The lion opens it’s mouth to roar, but someone’s shaking your shoulders |
| I can only see you in silhouette |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Only broken moments are sacrosanct |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Your beautiful face, your beautiful face, your beautiful face |
| Behind those barricades |
| (fade in …) |
| I can only see you in silhouette |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Only broken moments are sacrosanct |
| Turn yourself to the light so I can see your face |
| Your beautiful face, your beautiful face, your beautiful face |
| Behind those barricades |
