Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboyWhen I think of those east end lights, muggy nightsThe curtains drawn in the little room downstairsPrima donna lord you really should have been thereSitting like a princess perched in her electric chairAnd its one more beer and I dont hear you anymoreWeve all gone crazy latelyMy friends out there rolling round the basement floorAnd someone saved my life tonight sugar bearYou almost had your hooks in me didnt you dearYou nearly had me roped and tiedAltar-bound, hypnotizedSweet freedom whispered in my earYoure a butterflyAnd butterflies are free to flyFly away, high away, bye byeI never realised the passing hours of evening showersA slip noose hanging in my darkest dreamsIm strangled by your haunted social sceneJust a pawn out-played by a dominating queenIts four oclock in the morningDamn it listen to me goodIm sleeping with myself tonightSaved in time, thank God my musics still aliveAnd I would have walked head on into the deep end of the riverClinging to your stocks and bondsPaying your h.p. demands foreverTheyre coming in the morning with a truck to take me homeSomeone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonightSomeone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonightSomeone saved my life tonightSo save your strength and run the field you play alone
