When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights,
The curtains drawn in the little room
downsairs.
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there,
Sitting 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 friend's out there rolling,
Round the
basement floor.
(Chorus)
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,
Alter-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 realized 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.
It's four-o-clock in the morning
D*mn it!
Listen to me good.
I'm sleeping
with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music is still
alive.
Chorus
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.
They're
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.
Chorus
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
