Lyrics
Shelter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're building a shelter
on the edge of mount Verona
It's a corrugated palace
with a tree lined avenue
If you're frightened of the future
and you're watching o'er your shoulder
If you're getting kind of anxious and nervous
Come and stay here till it's through
This a'int no ark of Noah
no mockery of history
a taxi ride to nowhere
just a drifting boat at sea
My sister is working
for every day pleasure
the car in the driveway gleaming
the kids watching MTV
She was born to the Parish
says there's no way of leaving
says her rainbow is slowly fading ... fading
This aint no ark of Noah
no mockery of history
a taxi ride to nowhere
Just a drifting boat at sea
This aint no ark of Noah
no mockery of history
a taxi ride to nowhere
just a drifting boat at
