Well sledgehammer, jackhammer
Rocking it to my brain
I been looking for a rescue
In the magazines and Thorazine
I called in sick today
I'm looking for a rescue
Darkness closing in
Make no mistake
I can take my medicine
But sometimes it don't take
When you're looking for a rescue
I'm jumping in, but where do I begin
When it's cold and lonely
Here in the deep end
I've been staring at the ceiling
I've been staring at the floor
I'm looking for a rescue
I'm a million time loser
But who's keeping score
I'm looking for a rescue
Up and wash my face
Water down the drain
Everything's extended metaphors
Or completely mundane
When you're looking for a rescue
DJ, play the record
Without picking up the phone
I'm looking for a rescue
And the man on the screen
Is sending messages to my home
I'm looking for a rescue
That man on the screen
I know he's a liar
I got this natural-born talent
But who's gonna hire
Someone looking for a rescue?
