Rescue Me

(album: Erasure - 1995)

Love is cast ornately in your heart flame
Chakra wheels are turning like a love train

I could pray a hundred times
Keep these demons from my mind
Yeah, I could pray a thousand times
Stay in your loving arms entwined
(In your loving arms entwined)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

We shall blur the lines of definition
Waves of love our only ammunition

Tear my head out from the sound
Throw myself upon the ground (Take me to the burn. In your loving arms)
Take me to the burning tree
It has this strange effect on me (Riding on a train. Baby I could pray)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has to be)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart (In my heart)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has got to be)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely (And that is you)
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

Fascination never tasted sweeter
My desire real and soaring freely

You alone can save my soul
You alone are my salvation
You alone can make me whole
Rescue me from condemnation
(You are my salvation)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely
Driving the pain right through to my heart
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark (There has to be)

Oh that I should be ever so lonely (Ever so lonely) (And there is)
Driving the pain right through to my heart (There has got to be)
Oh that I should be ever so lonely (And there is) (And there is)
Riding the pain like a fool in the dark

(Riding the pain right through to your heart)

(You've got the love)
(You've got the love)
(You've got the love)

(For you to walk away)

(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)

(You got the love)
(You got the love)
(You got the love)

(Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah)

(And that's what it takes for the devil to say)
(I never want to sit in your heart again baby)
(Walk to the lord and never want this day)
(Shake it long and hard girl baby)
