Rescue Me Lyrics by Rough Trade

O Tempora! O Mores!

1984

[Chorus]
I want you now
Rescue me
This is an open invitation
Rescue me
Use your imagination
Rescue me
Don't waste my time
Come on and rescue me
[Verse 1]
I was walkin' cross town with a glint in my eye
I was looking for diversion with a capital D
I was buried under eyeshadow shaking with tension
Desire has that effect on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in the hot red light[?] you have no defences
Deep in the primal night[?] you have heightened senses
[Chorus]
I want you now
Rescue me
This is an open invitation
Rescue Me
[Verse 2]
Descending recklessly into bohemia
I found you in the depths of a nightclub
Do you remember, we scorched the bedsheets
Your presence had some effect on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in the hot red light[?] you have no defences
Under camouflage of night[?] you have heightened senses
[Chorus]
I want you now
Rescue me (Deep in the hot red light)
This is an open invitation
Rescue Me (Set me free)
Use your imagination
Rescue me (You have no defences)
Don't waste my time
Rescue me (Break these bonds)
[Outro]
I want you now
Rescue me
This is an open invitation
Rescue Me
Use your imagination
Rescue me
Don't waste my time
Come on and rescue me
I want you now
Rescue me (deep in the hot red light)
This is an open invitation
Rescue Me (Set me free, set me free)
Use your imagination
Rescue me
Don't waste my time (You have no defences)
Come on and rescue me (Break these bonds, set me free)
I want you now
Rescue me (Set me free)
This is an open invitation (Break these bonds, break these bonds)
Rescue Me
Use your imagination (Darling)
Rescue me
Don't waste my time (Set me free)
Come on and rescue me (Rescue me, break these bonds)
