Someone Saved My Life Tonight
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna Lord you really should have been there
Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rollin' round the basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
Never realized the passin' hours of evenin' showers
A slip noose hangin' in my darkest dreams
Just a pawn out played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the mornin', damn it listen to me good
I'm sleepin' with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
And I would have walked head on to the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds, paying your H.P. demands forever
Comin' in the mornin' with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
