Midnight In Chelsea Lyrics

The kids 'round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the grooveGothic girls all dress in black
Serious as heart attacks
It takes a little bit of getting used toThe 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 handIt'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 meI'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 queenTwo lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonightOf a big red bus that's packed so tight

It disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming, baby, it's all rightIt'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 meMidnight 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 singIt's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming onA 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 songIt'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 meIt'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 beThe man I want to be, the man I want to be
Midnight in Chelsea
