Shelter

Shelter, oh
I've been branded
I've been washed up and left for dead
I've been cast out from this world
I'm in exile
I'm stranded on the streets
Ain't got no place left to run
No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down
C'mon and take me to the shelter
Shelter give me what I want tonight shelter
Shelter take me undercover tonight
Shelter
I've been tortured
I've been raging in the breach
In this wicked world
Persecution
I've been carrying my cross
I've been down there on my knees
No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down
Come on and take me to the shelter
Shelter give me what I want tonight shelter
Shelter running undercover tonight shelter
Shelter
Come on and take me to the shelter
Shelter give me what I want tonight
(give me your love) shelter
Shelter sleeping on the streets tonight
(give me your love) shelter
Shelter give me what I want tonight
(give me your love) shelter
Shelter give me what I want tonight
