Oh please lord have mercy
I don't know what I've done
There's a fire burning in me
I can't tell right from wrong
I have broken vows and cursed your name
And taken what ain't mine
I have tasted hate and I've seen my fate
At the bottom of a bottle of wine

There's a fire burning inside of me
There's a fire burning inside of me

Won't you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me

I crawl out from the ashes
With shielded blood red eyes
There's a neon sign that flashes
You've come to paradise
The smoky room, her cheap perfume
Another lost romance
I have sunk so low, running off my tracks
I never had a chance

There's a fire burning inside of me
There's a fire burning inside of me

Won't you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
Won't you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me

There's a fire burning inside of me
There's a fire burning inside of me

Won't you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
Won't you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
