| Through The Barricades 4 |
| Snakes and Lovers I just don’t understand it Well there’s something at our door, Now we’re fighting together as dogs of war. When the moon is shining And you’re wrapped around our sins, Then our souls start a-howling And the show begins. Over where the city starts Something comes and slips into its heart. Snakes and lovers try and shed our sins, We’re under covers but it slips beneath our skins. Snakes and lovers, holding on in the night. Are you sleeping tight? In our Garden of Eden, with the poison in disguise, We had grown love together in paradise. Now utopia is falling and the messages are clear That the evil is crawling And fear in near. Now temptation comes to try, So I bite the apple of my eye. Snakes and lovers try and shed our sins, We’re under covers but it slips beneath our skins. Snakes and lovers, holding on in the night. Are you sleeping tight? Now you’re alone in your room, And all the walls they are turning. And down on the streets where I walk, The light on my eyes it is burning. So come on and take me my dear And bare the fruits of what we know And our minds will be clear And our hearts will not let go. Just one more step and we will be over Snakes and lovers try and shed our sins, We’re under covers but it slips beneath our skins. Snakes and lovers, holding on in the night. Are you sleeping tight? Holding on in the night. Are you sleeping tight? |
| Through The Barricades Mother doesn’t know where love has gone, She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong. See it in her face that’s turned to ice, And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice. And now I know what they’re saying as our sun begins to fade, And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades. Father made my history, He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free. They taught me what to say in school, I learned it off by heart but now that’s torn in two. And now I know what they’re saying in the music of the parade, And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades. Born on different sides of life, But we feel the same and feel all of this strife, So come to me when I’m asleep And we’ll cross the line and dance upon the streets. And now I know what they’re saying as the drums begin to fade, And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades. Oh, turn around and I’ll be there, Well there’s a scar right through my heart but I’ll bare it again. Oh, I thought we were the human race but we were just another borderline case, And the stars reach down and tell us that there’s always one escape. Oh, I don’t know were love has gone And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong. Friday’s child is full of soul, With nothing left to lose there’s everything to go. And now I know what they’re saying, It’s a terrible beauty we’ve made So we make our love on wasteland and through the barricades And now I know what they’re saying as our hearts go to their graves And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades. |
