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 
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
