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
