Sanctuary - J Geils Band

Artist: J. Geils Band
Song: Sanctuary
Year: 1978
Album: Sanctuary

Rest in peace, Allan Stagg. I always tried to catch his radio show, Sanctuary. This was the theme song to that show.

Lyrics:
Times are tough -- frustration
Need relief -- medication
Gone too far -- intoxication
Fight the urge -- temptation
Miles ago -- no destination
Is it real -- hallucination
Lose the dream -- stagnation
You feel so lost -- desperation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary

It's much too close -- contamination
Love and pain -- deviation
Just suck it up -- ejaculation
It's much too late -- damnation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary

When I was young, my mother told me
She said, "Son, someday everything's gonne be all right"

There's no escape -- there's no salvation

It's much too dark for revelation

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Sanctuary, sanctuary...
