This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job
For anyone to stay aliveThe streets have satellite boundaries
For the war that's never won
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired gunsShelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sinking down and losing ground
Shelter meI've go to sleep with one eye open
The other holds my tears
In the darkness I can hide my heart
But not of my fearsIn the morning like a soldier
I'll approach the battleground
Another day, another dollar bill
And the world goes roundShelter me
Won't you shelter me?
When I'm sinking down and losing ground
Shelter meWon't you shelter me?
Oh, shelter me
When I lose control on my way home
Shelter meEvery time I tumble down
I wanna pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
Get the lead out of the shoes
I'm thanking you, I thank youBaby shelter me, please shelter me
When I'm sinking down and losing ground
Shelter meWon't you shelter me?
When I lose control on my way home
Shelter meWon't you shelter me?
Oh, shelter me, baby please
Shelter meStay back and shelter me
Come on and shelter me
When I lose control on my way home
Shelter me
