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 realised 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   Damn it 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
