Lyrics

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

Sittin' 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 friend's out there rolling 'round the basement floor

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…)

And someone saved my life tonight

Sugar bear (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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…)

Never realized the passing hours of evening showers

Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn outplayed 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 is still alive

(Aah-aah-aah-aah-aah…)

And someone saved my life tonight

Sugar bear

(Sugar bear 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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

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

Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight

So save your strength and run the field you play alone

And someone saved my life tonight

Sugar bear

(Sugar bear sugar bear)

(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
