Rescue
Ozark Henry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar
Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar

Would you sing that tune for me
And make me sail towards your knee
To lose my boat amid the sea
With all my hope and disbelief

Would you rescue me
With the pills you have in mind
Would you rescue me
Like an architect of life

‘Cause I'm on to you
Like you're on to the world

Would you pull the fuse on me
And take me out like lovers sleep
On afternoons, in troubled dreams
To lose a love that finders keep

Would you rescue me
With the pills you have in mind
Would you rescue me
Like an architect of life

‘Cause I'm on to you
Like you're on to the world

Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar
Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar

Would you rescue me
With the pills you have in mind
Would you rescue me
Like an architect of life

Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar
Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar

For she needs to

Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar




Kill and lock me
Kill and lock me in a jar

Smaak is blijkbaar niet velen gegeven. Dit is weeral een Belgisch pareltje. Koesteren maar, doe ik ook.
