Sanctuary - The Chills

Married with children and a dog
To a man who hits her when he's wild
Overbearing undercaring
Keeps her like a frightened child
She's made a man inside her head
Whose gentle good and strong
And he can take her far from the carnivore
How far
Shangri la far there she will belong
I need you near (get out of there)
Sanctuary (get out of there)
No one comes here (get out of there)
We live alone in nowhere (get out of there)
Stands in the kitchen wishing hard
Staring out at distant stars
Raise the baby change the other one
Pray her man unveils his heart
She says this and consoles herself
It's just an empty stage
It's just an empty stage I'm gone thought
How far could it stretch
How far could it go
I need you near (get out of there)
Sanctuary (get out of there)
No one comes here (get out of there)
We live alone in nowhere
He won't find you (get out of there)
And I'll unwind you (get out of there)
Cause I really do care (get out of there)
You trapped in fear and you have to get out of there
Get out of there
Get out of there get out of there
Get out of there
Half an hour passes
She moves takes the phone receiver from the wall
Dials a number dials another one
No one seems to hear her call
She's tried her friends
They can't help with her private hell
Slowly she drifts further away from him
How far
Well see that star
That's how far she could go
How far
See that star
How far could she go
I need you near me
Sanctuary
No one cone here
We'll live alone in nowhere
Get out of there
Get out of there
Get out of there
