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
