Guided By Voices - Barricade lyrics

rate me

(R. Pollard)

Six guns alone and a

emotional avalanche

Six bottles of rum and a

kilo full of character change

I don't have to come out on my own

Barricade

{chorus}

I walked into the (line of fire/blinding light) and took it

on chin again and I can't find my medication

or my occupation

But please don't show me the things should see (anymore)

In the finger paint I've been dabbling

with the 60 vessels of the ocean

In the critical line (cryptical lie) of the fashion world I become

the agressor of no one.

Takes a stronger wind to blow out this

candle than the other fires I've made

And the lion (lying) mouth won't blow my handle

knocking down my

barricade

blowing up my

barricade

Little child Little child

won't you dance with me

Little child Little child

Little child

won't you dance with me

{chorus}

Go away and leave alone to

work the crossroad

A nowhere (Runaway) train, I'm leaving (I need)

to find a long lost brother (railroad Bound and gagged)

Moutain day. I leave today to (I'm feeling the need)

think it over. Lost my home

don't find my home

Let me walk

I can stand on my own two feet

I don't care what you do

I don't like you

Be a clown Be a man

Be all you can be

And you don't have to

stay.

It's all over now.
