Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy<br><br>When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights<br>The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs<br>Prima donna lord you really should have been there<br>Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair<br>And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore<br>We've all gone crazy lately<br>My friends out there rolling round the basement floor<br><br>And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear<br>You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear<br>You nearly had me roped and tied<br>Altar-bound, hypnotized<br>Sweet freedom whispered in my ear<br>You're a butterfly<br>And butterflies are free to fly<br>Fly away, high away, bye bye<br><br>I never realised the passing hours of evening showers<br>A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams<br>I'm strangled by your haunted social scene<br>Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen<br>It's four o'clock in the morning<br>Damn it listen to me good<br>I'm sleeping with myself tonight<br>Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive<br><br>And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river<br>Clinging to your stocks and bonds<br>Paying your h.p. demands forever<br>They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home<br>Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight<br>Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight<br>Someone saved my life tonight<br>So save your strength and run the field you play alone
