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
altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
you’re a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
fly away high away byebye ooh
piano riff
i never realized the passin’ hours of evening showers
a slip noose hangin’ 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 listen to me good
i’m sleepin’ with myself tonight
saved in time thank god my music’s still alive
oh
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
altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
you’re a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
fly away high away byebye ooh
piano riff
and i would’ve walked headon into the deep end of the river
clingin’ to your stocks and bonds
payin’ your hp demands forever
they’re comin’ in the mornin’ 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
sugar bear sugar bear sugar bear
you almost had your hooks in me didn’t you dear
you nearly had me roped and tied
altarbound hypnotized sweet freedom whispered in my ear
you’re a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
fly away high away byebye
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
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
