If you re ever on the wrong side of this town
There s some place that I know of that will hold you down
Travel south through the city avoiding all the passing cars
Streets are wrong, streets are trying to tear you up

If you re even in need of a helping hand
There s some people that I know of that will be your friend
Travel south through the city to the wrong turn signals
Streets are wrong, streets are trying to tear you up
As I go ooh, take shelter in my arms
Ooh, take shelter in my arms

If you re afraid in the world
If you re afraid in the world
Say a prayer tonight
Lay down and close your eyes
You ll feel safer in my arms
You ll feel safer
You ll feel safer

If you re afraid
If you re afraid in this world
Say a prayer tonight
Lay down and close your eyes
You ll be safer in my arms
You ll be safer
You ll be safer

If you re afraid in this world
If you re afraid in the world
Say a prayer tonight
Lay down and close your eyes
You ll be safer in my arms
You ll be safer
