I'll be your shelter
When the weather starts to turn.
I'll be your fireman
When the city starts to burn.
I'll be your blanket, now,
If you can be my cloak,
But tonight I'm just a bottle in the smoke.
I'll be your driver
When you're running for the train.
I'll be your doctor,
I will cure you of your pain.
I'll be your leaning post
When your legs are bent and broke,
But tonight I'm just a bottle in the smoke.
I'll be your lover
When you need someone to love.
I'll be your cover
When it comes down from above.
I'll hold your hand and smile
When we both start to choke,
But tonight I'm just a bottle in the smoke.
