The kids 'round here look just like sticks

They trade old licks with a beat up six

I just smile and catch the groove

Gothic girls all dress in black

Serious as heart attacks

It takes a little bit of getting used to

The 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 hand

Refrão:

It'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 me

I'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 queen

Two lustful lovers catch a spark

And chase their shadows in the dark

Someone's getting off tonight

Of a big red bus that's packed so tight

It disappears in a trail of light

Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's all right...

It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea

No one's asking me for favors

No one's looking for a savoir

They're too busy saving me

Midnight 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 sing...

It's morning when I go to sleep

In the distant dawn a church bell rings

Another day is coming on

A 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 song

Refrão

It's midnight 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

The man I want to be,the man I want to be

Midnight in Chelsea
