Lyrics for Song: Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits/one Night Only: Deluxe Sound & Vision [2008]
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 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
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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
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
Damn it, listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music is still alive
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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
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
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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 my life tonight)
Someone saved, someone saved
Someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)....
