Kids 'round here look just
like sticks
trade old licks with a beat
up six
I just smile and catch the
groove
Got the girls all dressed
in black
serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting
used to
The old man with the whiskey
stains
lost the night and forgot
his name
His poor wife was sleeping
alone again
It ain't hard to understand
why she's holdin' on to
her own hand
It's Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving
me
I seen a lonesome rainy drive
Seems the chauffer took
a dive
sold his secrets to the
sun
Ahh, later in a magazine
I finally figured what it
means
to be a saint but not a
queen
Two lustful lovers catch
a spark
chased their shadows in
the dark
Someone's gettin' off tonight
A big red bus is packed
so tight
disappears in a trail of
light
Somewhere, someone's dreamin'
Baby it's alright
It's Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
No one's pinnin' dreams on
me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Sha la la la, Sha la la
la,
Sha la la la, Sha la la
la
Oh, oh
It's morning when I go to
sleep
And here comes the distant
dawn with church bell rings
Another day is comin' on
Baby's born an old man dies
the way young lovers kiss
good-bye
I leave my soul and just
move on
wish that I was there to
sing this song
La la la la, Sha la la
Sha la la la, Sha la la
It's Midnight in Chelsea
Sha la la la, Sha la la
Ahh Midnight in Chelsea
No one's askin' me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving
me
It's Midnight in Chelsea
Sha la la la, Sha la la
yeah no one's pinnin' dreams
on me
No one's askin' me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
the man I wanna be
the man I wanna be
Midnight in Chelsea...
