Wise men say these are the facts of life

What ya can't read, you gotta write

What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the wasteland

Hail Mary, hear me now - I'm in need of Sanctuary

Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in

Out in the Wasteland where love's a give away

I fall on my face like a rebel in the dirt



Sanctuary, Give me some protection

Baby, Baby cover me



Feelin' lost and so afraid

Just tryin' to keep the handle on the blade

Been such a long time runnin'

Behind these walls inside of me

Ain't nothin' clear as far as I see

Looks like a storm cloud breakin'

Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat - a drivin' beat

The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt



Sanctuary, Give me some protection

Baby, Baby cover me

Sanctuary, Give me some affection

by, Baby shelter me

Heartache gonna worry me down -- I don't like it



Show me mercy, peace of mind

Stand beside me in these troubled times

Give me a reason to believe in now

Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away

All I can do just to make it through the night



Sanctuary, Give me some protection

Baby, Baby cover me

Sanctuary, Give me some affection

Baby, Baby shelter me



Sanctuary, Sanctuary

Sanctuary, Sanctuary
