How long`s it gonna be, babe
Before I get over you, doll
You`re tearin` the stuff right out of me kid
What with you living right up the hall
And I`m tired of living in this hotel
TV and dirty magazines
And I`m tired of livin` on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
Maybe you just didn`t read me right
The lights went out and you just sitting on the stair
I played your song but I couldn`t get the melody right
Why don`t you just shoot up like a ball of rubber bands
And I`m tired of living in this hotel
Fire and ashes blowin` cross the sheets
And I`m tired of livin` on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
I fell like getting rid of all my things
Maybe just disappear into the fall
The traffic roars and my stomach screams
Sittin` here watchin` roaches climb the wall
And I`m tired of living here in this hotel
Following a rainbow into town
And I`m just trying to get a little sleep
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night
