Shelter Me

Everybody needs a little place they can hide Somewhere to call their own, don't let nobody inside Every now and then we all need to let go For some it's a doctor, for me it's rock and roll For some it's a bottle, for some it's a pill Some people read the Bible 'cause it's givin' them a thrill Others point their finger if they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house don't be throwing rocks at me We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper and it'll be alright Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed, there ain't nothing he won't try Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife Tipper led the war against the record industry She said she saw the devil on her MTV To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his ministry We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper and it'll be alright For some it's a needle, for some it's pill Some people read the Bible 'cause it's giving them a thrill You can spend your money before you get your pay With a toss of the dice you can piss it all away We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper and it'll be alright

When I was down, an angel came to me And she touched me inside, that woman set me free Turned on the light so I could see That there was fire inside, and I could feel the heat She's got the power, she gets me high She can take a storm and make it shine She keeps the spark burning over time That woman's got electric love Electric love, there ain't no medicine that makes me fly Like when I'm with my sweet woman, she keeps me so satisfied And if we had no money, we'd still get by And if the world should stop turnin', our love would be alive She's got the power, she gets me high She can take a storm and make it shine She keeps the spark burning over time That woman's got electric love She's got the power, she gets me high She can take a storm and make it shine She keeps the spark burning over time That woman's got electric love Whoa yeah She gets me high, so high Ooo yeah, she makes the stars shine Burning all the time That woman's got electric love Electric love Electric love She's got the fire She's got the fire Electric love Electric love Electric love
