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
