  • The bell boy brings you coffee
    There are letters from every shore
    There are flowers of the season
    Heels are capsized by the door

    You're well protected
    Cold as you must be to survive
    But I know somewhere behind your barricade
    There's a love that can be made

    And in my blood
    Your ghost is crying living tears
    And I can't switch them off
    Or turn them down or out

    You are a night flower
    You bloom as I fade
    And you drag me in deeper
    Behind your barricade

    With the love that can be made
    Behind your barricade
    Yes, and how long can I stay?

    And this addition of yourself
    You don't believe in anymore
    We'll face the chat show at 8:30
    And we'll freeze in the applause

    Who am I to argue?
    Here everybody must get paid
    May you bloom forever
    Behind your barricade

    Looking for a love that can be made
    Behind your barricade
    Yes, and how long can I stay
    Behind your barricade?
