SOS

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ayy
The champagne, you showered down on my pain
The lights fade, running 'round in blind faith
Las Vegas surrounded by the lost figures
Alligators, they chew me up and spit me out
You know I've been burning out
I've been calling out for you
I've been calling out for you, yeah
SOS, save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know
'Cause you know
You gotta throw me a lifeline
Throw me your heart
I've been waiting a lifetime
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight
Propeller, spinning me away forever
Umbrella, shelter me from stormy weather
Lines severed, but I know you've been looking out
'Cause you can hear me calling out
It's you I'm forever in debt to
Never been the same since the day that I met you
Going down, can you come to my rescue?
SOS, save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know
'Cause you know
You gotta throw me a lifeline
Throw me your heart
I've been waiting a lifetime
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight
Ah-ah, ah-ah
SOS
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
You gotta throw me a lifeline
Throw me your heart
I've been waiting a lifetime
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight
Ooh, it's you I'm forever in debt to
Never been the same since the day that I met you
Going down, can you come to my rescue?
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, 'cause you know you know
You know, oh
SOS, save my soul
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know
'Cause you know
You gotta throw me a lifeline
Throw me your heart
I've been waiting a lifetime
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight
The champagne, you showered down on my pain
The lights fade, running 'round in blind faith
Las Vegas surrounded by the lost figures
Alligators, they chew me up and spit me out
