"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 dont hear you anymore
 We've 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 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 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
 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 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, 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
 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 my life tonight...
