<poem> | |||
Been fortified, been petrified | |||
Been walking planks for all my life | |||
Call this admission, my act of contrition | |||
Please to be seated, inches from breaking | |||
So open wide, you're qualified and | |||
Pacified for the long ride | |||
Fighting institutions, fighting this pollution | |||
Another resolution, inches from breaking | |||
Will she rescue me | |||
Will she rescue me | |||
Like a Lion's roar, it's hard to ignore | |||
When you're counting tiles on the bathroom floor | |||
Call it a sickness, call it a weakness | |||
I'll call it something, it's inches from breaking | |||
Been on the wagon, been screaming and nagging | |||
Been burned by my own hand and the breath of a dragon | |||
Call it wishful thinking or a result of the drinking | |||
Next to the bar and inches from breaking | |||
Will she rescue me | |||
Will she rescue me | |||
If I climbed your mountain, if I sailed your seas | |||
Would you believe me, would you believe me | |||
Every heart like a ladder | |||
Rope or net, doesn't matter | |||
Come together, then scatter | |||
Free | |||
Rescue me | |||
</poem> | |||
