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 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 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's still alive
|
|
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
|
