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 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 b___erfly
And b___erflies 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 p___ out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
d___ 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 b___erfly
And b___erflies 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

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 b___erfly
And b___erflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye.
