| The kids 'round here look just like sticks
|
| They trade old licks with a beat up six
|
| I just smile and catch the groove
|
| Gothic girls all dress in black
|
| Serious as heart attacks
|
| It takes a little bit of getting used to The old man with the whiskey stains
|
| Lost the night forgot his name
|
| His poor wife will sleep alone again
|
| And it ain’t hard to understand
|
| Why she’s holding on to her own hand
|
| It’s midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s asking me for favors
|
| No one’s looking for a savoir
|
| They’re too busy saving me It’s midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s asking me for favors
|
| No one’s looking for a savoir
|
| They’re too busy saving me
|
| I’ve seen a lone, sloane ranger drive
|
| seems her chauffeur took a dive
|
| And sold her secrets to the sun
|
| And later in a magazine
|
| I finally figured what it means
|
| To be a saint, not a queen
|
| Two lustful lovers catch a spark
|
| And chase their shadows in the dark
|
| Someone’s getting off tonight
|
| Of a big red bus that’s packed so tight
|
| It disappears in a trail of light
|
| Somewhere someone’s dreaming baby it’s all right…
|
| It’s midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s asking me for favors
|
| No one’s looking for a savoir
|
| They’re too busy saving me Midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s pinned dreams on me No one’s asking me to bleed
|
| I’m the man I want to be When Chelsea girls sing…
|
| It’s morning when I go to sleep
|
| In the distant dawn a church bell rings
|
| Another day is coming on A baby’s born, an old man dies
|
| Somewhere young lovers kiss good-bye
|
| I leave my soul and just move on And wish that I was there to sing this song
|
| It’s midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s asking me for favors
|
| No one’s looking for a savoir
|
| They’re too busy saving me It’s midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
|
| No one’s pinned dreams on me No one’s asking me to bleed
|
| I’m the man I want to be The man I want to be, the man I want to be Midnight in Chelsea |
