Elton John - Someone saved my life tonight - live at wembley / 1975 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 friend's 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 bu*terfly And bu*terflies are free to fly Fly away, high away bye bye I never realized the pa**ing 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 Listen to me good I'm sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my music is 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 bu*terfly And bu*terflies 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 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 bu*terfly And bu*terflies are free to fly Fly away, high away bye bye 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
