Lyrics:

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
