Well I feel just like a stranger

I don't sleep at all anymore

And the arms that used to hold me

Well now they done me harm

And I feel just like a murderer

And I feel just like a gun

I've been shakin' in the hands of somebody

Who's finally had enough As you step out into the city

No one to find you or recognize

As your black heels kick out the beat

Of my heart in perfect time

Singing la la la la la lala la

Look at you saving my life

Singing la la la la la lala la

Tonight you're saving my life, yeah Now I've had the saints and patience

And I wait on the telephone

I have bills for this

Tabs for that

Something that used to resemble a soul

So won't anybody take my hand

And won't anybody ease my ache

And I still love rock 'n roll

And I still call somebody baby As you step out into the city

No one to find you or recognize

As your black heels kick out the beat

Of my heart in perfect time

Singing la la la la la la la la

Look at you saving my life

Singing la la la la la lala la

Tonight you're saving my life, yeah As you step out into the city

No one to find you or recognize

As your black heels kick out the beat

Of my heart in perfect time

Singing la la la la la la la la

Look at you saving my life

Singing la la la la la lala la

Tonight you're saving my life, yeah

Singing la la la la la la la la

Lean on the end of the knife

Singing la la la la la la la la

Tonight you're saving my life, yeah
