Someone Saved My Life Tonight Songtext / Lyric

When I think of those East End light
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 fiend's out there rolling, 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 ropes and tied,
Altar-bound, hypnotised,
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly,
And butterflys 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 hanted 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's still alive.

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of a 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 your play alone.
