|
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 savior |
|
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 |
|
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 savior |
|
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 savior |
|
They're too busy saving me |
|
It's midnight in Chelsea, yeah |
|
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 |
