Walkin' over the city like a lost train like a dove.. Sufferin' with the shoes that are filled with hatred and no love.. Winkin' to a new girl on the poorest neighborhood. Soldiers are comin' in but preachers had left as soon as they could. So shelter Lord the boys whose hands are playing. So shelter Lord cause the boys are not the same.. They're telling the stories that never should be told. They're smoking sad cigarrettes that never should be smoked. I open an old book and I try to read it again. But the dust over my thoughts had gone to my heart had blown me as it could. So shelter Lord my heart cause it's been cold. So shelter Lord i got nothin' else to hold. And over again I feel the sand falling off of my tired eyes. Over again the party's done and the funeral hits the stars. Over again we're singing about all the unpleased thoughts of God. Over again we're trying to win the war.. Dreaming sometimes awaken one day nothing will make sense. Nowadays I just close my heart at lovers who pretend. To love like I am and like I want the world to be. But I missed the bus to meet you and the eyes that would make see. So shelter Lord our lives cause we've been bad. So shelter Lord we lost all we've ever had. [I challenge you to a fight you old vampire. So please pick up your gun and try to hit me try to put me down. Cause you know my eyes are not quite the same since that old girl left home. And this girl you know her well she's the reason that we are fighting for]. So shelter Lord.. So shelter Lord.. So shelter Lord.. So shelter cause we're not the same anymore
