Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy
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 its one more beer and I dont hear you anymore Weve 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 didnt you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear Youre 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 Im strangled by your haunted social scene Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen Its four oclock in the morning Damn it listen to me good Im sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my musics 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 Theyre 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
Of course it would have to be one of my absolute, all time favs though, wouldn't it? It's a seven minute long, over the top dirge about one of the most hilarious suicide attempts in the history of, well, ever. Including transcendant vocals and gorgeous harmonies.

Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy
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 its one more beer and I dont hear you anymore
Weve 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 didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre 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
Im strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Its four oclock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
Im sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my musics 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
Theyre 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
