Red Rescue

There was a darkness in that house

I felt it chill my bones

Saw your mother at the kitchen table

Just sittin' there, arms crossed

I did a line, I did a line to make it through the night

I did a line, I did a line to suppress my appetite

She offered us what she had to eat

Guess she'd been holding onto all of those holiday meats

I smelled the milk a-spoiling from the 'fridgerator

Pulled a long, black hair off my plate

Said "Baby, let's get out of here"

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

The walls were colored all like blood

I never looked, but I swear there must've been a dungeon

I saw your brother there sleeping on the couch

Don't think he's moved since

Don't think he'll ever get out

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

I'm-a-gonna save you

I'm-a-gonna save—

You

Ooo

Ooo

Ooo

There is a darkness in our house

I felt it chill my bones

The second that I carried you, wedding dress over the threshold

You told a lie, you told a lie that was easy for me to believe

All that you said was "it's not as bad as it seems…"

But it was, baby

How'm I gonna save you

How'm I gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

How'm I gonna save you

How'm I gonna save you

When that darkness lives in you, too

How'm I gonna save you

How'm I gonna save you

Red rescue, red rescue

How'm I gonna save you

How'm I gonna save you

Ooo

Ooo

Ooo

Ooo
