Shelter - Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

Scared Straight was a punk band from Simi Valley, California. The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends and was originally called S.O.F. Original members were Scott Radinsky, Mike Thompson, Gary Gallanes and Dennis Jagard, who started the band to enter a "Battle of the Bands" competition at a local skate rink. After going through several members and name changes, they began playing with some "Nardcore" bands from nearby Oxnard, California, which helped them gain recognition. All of the Scared Straight records were released by Mystic Records.

If I lose all respect for you Can I still call you friend? Why expose myself to disappointment Over and over again? The cycle has to end (chorus) Can someone give me shelter From the pouring rain? If the water washed your lies away, Maybe I could trust you again If anything remained I'm tired of masking anger, With humor and diplomacy, I want to scream out all the *** up things We both know about you Embrace the honesty (chorus) I'm sick of the pain, Give me one good reason, To believe that you'll change I wonder how we got this far, After all these years, I still don't know who you are. Like a dream I've fallen down, I need to wake up, before I hit the ground If the water washed you away, Could I be myself again? If the water washed you away, Could I be myself again? If the water washed you away, Could I be myself again?
