Ooh, see a storm it's threat'ning my very life today.
Come'on babe gimme shelter or else, I'm gonna fade away.

Burns like a red coal carpet mad bull lost its way.
Love sister it's just a shot away It's just a shot away
Love sister it's just a shot away It's just a shot away
War sister it's just a shot away It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away It's just a shot away

Love sister it's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away Kiss away kiss away Kiss away kiss away Kiss away kiss away
See the fire burning down my soul
