And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear?
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear?
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
You nearly had me roped and tied, altar-bound, hypnotized
You nearly had me roped and tied, altar-bound, hypnotized
Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it, listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Fly away, high away, bye, bye
Saved in time, thank God, my music's still alive
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
Never realized the passing hours of evening showers
Fly away, high away, bye, bye
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
We've all gone crazy lately
Clinging to your stocks and bonds, paying your H.P. demands forever
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
You nearly had me roped and tied, altar-bound, hypnotized
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear?
Prima donna, Lord, you really should have been there
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear
Someone saved my life tonight
Fly away, high away, bye, bye
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
