Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I think of those east end lights
Muggy nights the curtain drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima donna Lord you really should have 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 friends out there rolling 'round the basement floor
[Verse 2]
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
Butterflies are free to fly, so fly away
High away, bye, bye
[Verse 3]
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 outplayed by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it, list to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time
Thank God my musics still alive
[Verse 4]
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
Butterflies are free to fly, so fly away
High away, bye bye
[Verse 5]
And I would've walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stock and bonds
Paying your demands forever
The 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
So save your strength and run the field you play along
[Verse 6]
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, so fly away
High away, bye bye
[Verse 7]
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)
