This ain't no place for losers,
Or the innocent of mind.
It's a full time job,
For anyone, to stay alive.
The streets are set like boundaries
For the war that's never won.
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired guns
Shelter me, Baby Shelter Me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me.
I go to sleep with one eye open,
The other holds my tears.
In the darkness I can hide my heart
But not my fears.
In the morning like a soldier,
I'll approach the battleground.
Another day, another dollar baby,
And the world goes round
Shelter Me, Baby Shelter Me
When I'm sinkin' down and losin' ground
Shelter me.
Every time I tumble down,
I wanna pack it up and leave this town.
Oh when I finally get the nerve
And the lead out of my shoes
I think of you, I think of you
Shelter Me, Shelter Me
Shelter Me, Shelter Me
Shelter Me.
