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 have shallow boundaries For the war that's everyone What a wasteland for Broken dreams and hired guns Shelter me Won't you shelter me? When I'm sinking like I'm losing ground Shelter me I've gone to sleep But when I open The other holds my tears In the darkness I can hide my heart But none of my fears In the morning Like a soldier I approach the battleground Another day Another dollar made And the world goes round Shelter me Oh, shelter me When I lose control Of my own home Shelter me Won't you shelter me? When I'm sinking like I'm losing ground Shelter me EverY time I tumble down I want to pack it up and leave this town When I finally get the nerve The land out of my shoes I'm thanking you I'm thanking you ♪ Won't you shelter me? Shelter me When I'm sinking like I'm losing ground Shelter me ♪ Baby, shelter me When I lose control Of my own home Shelter me Baby, shelter me When I'm sinking like I'm losing ground Shelter me, yeah
