Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight lyrics

When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights the curtains drawn in the
Little room downstairs prima Donna, lord
You really shoulda 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 friend's out there
Rollin' 'round the basement floor (O oh)

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 (O oh)

I never realized the passin'
Hours of evening showers
A slip noose hangin' 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 sleepin' with myself tonight
Saved in time
Thank God my music's still alive (Oh)

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
(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 (O oh)

And I would've walked head-on into the
Deep end of the river
Clingin' to your stocks and bonds
Payin' your HP demands forever
They're 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

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
(Sugar bear, 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)
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)
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)
Someone saved, someone saved
Someone saved my life tonight
(Someone saved my life tonight)
