Red Rescue (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
I'm-a-gonna savе you
I'm-a-gonna save you
Red rescuе, red rescue
I'm-a-gonna save you
I'm-a-gonna save you
Red rescue, red rescue
Oooh

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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—

[Bridge]
You
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
