I remember you well in the chelsea hotel, |
|
You were talking so brave and so sweet, |
|
Giving me head on the unmade bed, |
|
While the limousines wait in the street. |
|
Those were the reasons and that was new york, |
|
We were running for the money and the flesh. |
|
And that was called love for the workers in song |
|
Probably still is for those of them left. |
|
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe, |
|
You just turned your back on the crowd, |
|
You got away, I never once heard you say, |
|
I need you, I don't need you, |
|
I need you, I don't need you |
|
And all of that jiving around. |
|
I remember you well in the chelsea hotel |
|
You were famous, your heart was a legend. |
|
You told me again you preferred handsome men |
|
But for me you would make an exception. |
|
And clenching your fist for the ones like us |
|
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, |
|
You fixed yourself, you said, \"well never mind, |
|
We are ugly but we have the music.\" |
|
And then you got away, didn't you babe... |
|
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best, |
|
I can't keep track of each fallen robin. |
|
I remember you well in the chelsea hotel, |
|
That's all, I don't even think of you that often. |
