verse
Who's a friend, who's an enemy?
'Cause sometimes they look the same to me
But looks can be pleasing, yet so deceiving
Sweet words from a serpent's tongue
It's like playing with a loaded gun
I swear, I see you watching me, well...
chorus
Oh, oh, oh, come a little closer
Oh, oh, oh, you could be my soldier
Oh, oh, oh, keeping me safe from all who conspire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm looking for some shelter
Oh, oh, oh, from the helter skelter
Oh, oh, oh, just keep me away from all who conspire
verse
Burn a hole through the plastic crowd
'Cause I've been trying to find the way out
It's so confusing but never amusing
Sweet smiles in the aftermath
Turned to whispering behind my back
I need an ally to guard the nighttime
Someone to keep me from these crazies
chorus
Oh, oh, oh, come a little closer
Oh, oh, oh, you could be my soldier
Oh, oh, oh, keeping me safe from all who conspire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm looking for some shelter
Oh, oh, oh, from the helter skelter
Oh, oh, oh, just keep me away from all who conspire
chorus
Oh, oh, oh, come a little closer
Oh, oh, oh, you could be my soldier
Oh, oh, oh, keeping me safe from all who conspire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm looking for some shelter
Oh, oh, oh, from the helter skelter
Oh, oh, oh, just keep me away from all who conspire
