Lyrics:   

 Everybody wants you to be special 
And everybody wants you to be high 
They throw you down a rope when you're in trouble, Baby 
Screamin' "save me" 
They then charge you with the rescue blues 

And everybody wants to see you suffer 
They know that you need the pain so much 
They throw you up a rope when you're too high 
To cruise, Baby 
Lord, you lose Lady 
Then they charge you with the rescue blues 

And everybody wants to see you fall 
That's why the always love to get you high 
And everybody knows you need the pain so much, Lady 
Well, keep in touch, Baby 
Just don't charge me with your rescue blues
