There is safety in numbers
And people and things and in big wads
Of money and
Great big platinum rings
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers,
In numbers my friend

There are people who watch you in your
Windows at night
And they follow your movements in the
Cold fluorescent light
They wait for their moment,
They'll get you in the end

There is safety in numbers
In numbers my friend
I want just like you before
You want somebody to love
Since that day I learned the score
I know how to rise above
There is shelter in power
And promises of pain and in
Lovers and lawyers
And dogs pulling at the chain
And no one will ever get near me again

There is safety in numbers
In numbers my friend
You will find me well protected
When you come around today
So remember what
I told you and continue on your way
Cause no one will ever
Get near me again

There is safety in numbers, in numbers
My friend
