Paul Banks - Barricade lyrics

[Verse 1] I did not take to an*lysis So I had to make up my mind And hold it for awhile 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 [Pre-Chorus] Bees and snakes need homes (need homes) Barricade [Chorus 1] It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, to keep us away And it kinda does Starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away [Verse 2] I could not lean on the politics Cause I didn't want to train my eye To hold so short a time Also, I just don't know where the blind could lead the sightless But I still like to witness [Pre-Chorus] Bees and snakes need homes (need homes) Barricade [Chorus 1] It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, to keep us away And it kinda does Starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away (keep us all away) [Chorus 2] Full speed, half blind Full tilt, decline Return to, past times Full speed, half blind (You know us, you know us) (What we saw was a matter of fiction) (And I'm sorry) (And a plan) (Say I'm sorry) [Chorus 1] Sometimes it feels like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away And it kinda does And how much fear can you fabricate to keep us away? (keep us away) When you know us [Chorus 2] Full speed, half blind Full tilt, decline We turn to past times Full speed half blind [Chorus 2] Full speed, half blind Full tilt, decline On to old times Full speed half blind
