Safety In Numbers

Joan Osborne

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

Sice 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 mumbers my friend

You will find me well protected

when you come around today

So remember what

I told you and contunue on your way

Cause no one will ever

get near me again



There is safety in numbers, in numbers

my friend
