[Verse 1]
Sledgehammer, jackhammer rocking it to my brain
Been looking for a rescue
Got the magazines, Thorazine, called in sick today
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
My baby, now

[Chorus]
Jumping in, but where do I begin?
It's so, so cold and lonely
Deep end

[Verse 2]
I've been staring at the ceiling, staring at the floor
I'm looking for a rescue
I'm a million time loser, who's keeping score?
I'm looking for a rescue
Up and wash my face
Water down the drain
Everything's extended metaphor or just mundane
When you're looking for a rescue, rescue, rescue, baby, now
[Chorus]
Jumping in, but where do I begin?
It's so, so cold and lonely
In the deep end
Diving down in this deep end, deep end

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Wait a minute, so wait a minute, wait a minute
Can make the DJ play my record without picking up my telephone
Looking for a rescue
The man on the screen is sending messages home
I'm looking for a rescue
That man on my screen
I know he's a liar
I got this natural-born talent
Who's gonna hire
Someone looking for a rescue, rescue, rescue? Baby, now

[Chorus]
Jumping in, but where do I begin?
It's so, so cold and lonely
In the deep end
Diving down in the deep end
It's sink or swim in the deep end
A hundred feet in this deep end, deep end, deep end, deep end, yeah
