Lyrics
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 (spinning me)
Umbrella, shelter me from stormy weather (shelter me)
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 (you gotta throw me a lifeline)
Throw me your heart (just throw me your heart)
I've been waiting a lifetime (I've been waiting a lifetime)
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

(Ah)
SOS
(Ah)
Yeah

Throw me a lifeline (you gotta throw me a lifeline)
Throw me your heart (just throw me your heart)
I've been waiting a lifetime (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
I'm 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)
I've been drowning for too long
SOS, save my soul, you know (I've been waiting for too long)
You know (I've been waiting for your lifeline)
You gotta throw me a lifeline (I've been waiting for you, ooh)
Throw me your heart (I've been waiting for you, oh, oh)
I've been waiting a lifetime (I need your lifeline)
I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight

The champagne, you showered down on my pain (SOS)
The lights fade, running 'round in blind faith (yeah, ayy, throw me a lifeline)
Las Vegas surrounded by the lost figures (throw me a lifeline)
(I've been waiting a lifetime)
Alligators, they chew me up and spit me out
(I'm calling for an SOS to save my soul tonight)
