Someone Saved My LIfe Tonight

Someone Saved My LIfe Tonight

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 friends 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 butterfly 
And butterflies are free to fly 
Fly away, high away, bye bye 

I never realized the passing hours of evening showers 
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams 
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene 
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen 
It's four o'clock in the morning 
Dammit listen to me good 
I'm sleeping with myself tonight 
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive 

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


Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was also well-known among die-hard Elton John fans for its flip-side, "House of Cards," a track recorded along with the album's other songs, but left off the final edit of the album.
