Midnight in Chelsea

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 lone, sloane ranger 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 dreamlin'
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...
