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 shoulda 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 friend's out there, rollin' 'round the basement floor (ooh)



And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (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 (ooh)



I never realized the passin' 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 (oh)



And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (sugar bear, 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 (ooh)



And I would've 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 (sugar bear, 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, 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)

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)
