[Verse 1]
Well, sledgehammer, jackhammer rockin' 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, now, now, now, now

[Chorus]
I'm jumping in, but where do I begin
When it's c-c-c-cold and lonely
Here in the deep end?

[Verse 2]
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, now, now, now, now

[Chorus]
I'm jumping in, but where do I begin
When it's c-c-c-cold and lonely
Here in the deep end?
[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hey! 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, rescue? Now, now

[Chorus]
I'm jumping in, but where do I begin
When it's c-c-c-cold and lonely
Here in the deep end?

[Outro]
Dow-dow-down in the deep end
Water deep in this deep end, oh, yo
Down and down in the deep end
