Midnight In Chelsea

The kids 'round here look just like sticksThey trade old licks with a beat up sixI just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dress in blackSerious as heart attacksIt takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whiskey stainsLost the night forgot his nameHis poor wife will sleep alone againAnd it ain't hard to understandWhy she's holding on to her own hand
Chorus:It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in ChelseaNo one's asking me for favorsNo one's looking for a saviorThey're too busy saving me
(Repeat Chorus)
I've seen a lone, sloane ranger driveseems her chauffeur took a diveAnd sold her secrets to the sunAnd later in a magazineI finally figured what it meansTo be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a sparkAnd chase their shadows in the darkSomeone's getting off tonightOf a big red bus that's packed so tightIt disappears in a trail of lightSomewhere someone's dreaming baby it's all right...
Chorus:It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in ChelseaNo one's asking me for favorsNo one's looking for a saviorThey're too busy saving meMidnight in Chelsea, midnight in ChelseaNo one's pinned dreams on meNo one's asking me to bleedI'm the man I want to beWhen Chelsea girls sing...
It's morning when I go to sleepIn the distant dawn a church bell ringsAnother day is coming onA baby's born, an old man diesSomewhere young lovers kiss good-byeI leave my soul and just move onAnd wish that I was there to sing this song
Chorus:It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in ChelseaNo one's asking me for favorsNo one's looking for a saviorThey're too busy saving me
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in ChelseaNo one's pinned dreams on meNo one's asking me to bleedI'm the man I want to beThe man I want to be, the man I want to beMidnight in Chelsea
