lyrics

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died

I had a bad pain in my heart
So bad, it could tear me apart
So I went to a club that appealed to me
In hopes that the music would heal me

As I walked to the dance floor
I felt like I would expire
But that's when the DJ saw me
And gave me just what I required

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died

The set he played was boring as hell
He basically spun for himself
He seemed proud of his seemless transitions
But nobody else there was listenin'

I think he played his set out at home
His song selection was crap
The only time he read the crowd
Was when he saw me collapse

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR

The DJ saved my life tonight
If not for him, I would have died
He played bad music at the bar
But luckily, he knew CPR
