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

Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

And its one more beer and I don't hear you anymore

Weve all gone crazy lately

My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight

Sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me

Didnt 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

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

Its four oclock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good

I'm sleeping with myself tonight

Saved in time thank God my musics still alive

And someone saved my life tonight

Sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me

Didnt 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 into the deep end of the river

Clinging to your stocks and bonds

Paying your h p demands forever

Theyre coming in the morning 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

Didnt 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

Someone saved Someone saved Someone saved my life tonight

Someone saved Someone saved Someone saved my life tonight
