Lyrics for The Rescue Blues

Everybody wants you to be special And everybody wants you to be high They throw you down a rope when you're in trouble, baby Screamin', "Save me" Then they charge you with the rescue blues And everybody wants to see you suffer They know that you need the pain so much They throw you up a rope, when you're too high To cruise, baby Lord, you lose lady Then they charge you with the rescue blues And everybody wants to see you fall That's why they always love to get you high And everybody knows you need the pain so much, lady Well, keep in touch, baby Just don't charge me with your rescue blues
