Midnight In Chelsea

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 dressed in black

Serious as heart attacks

It takes a little bit of gettin' used to

The old man with the whiskey stains

Lost the night and forgot his name

His poor wife will sleep alone again

And 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 askin' me for favors (Sha, la, la, la)

No one's lookin' for a savior (Sha, la, la)

They're too busy savin' me (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la)

I seen a lone, Sloane Ranger drive

Seems her chauffeur took a dive

And sold her secrets to the Sun

Ah, 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 gettin' off tonight

Of a bid, red bus that's packed so tight

It disappears in a trail of light

Somewhere someone's dreamin'

Baby, it's all right

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 askin' me for favors (Sha, la, la, la)

No one's lookin' for a savior (Sha, la, la)

They're too busy savin' me (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

(Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

At midnight in Chelsea (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

No one's pinned their dreams on me

No one's askin' me to plea

I'm the man I wanna be

Chelsea girls sing

Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la

Oh, sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la

Oh-ooh-oh

It's mornin' when I go to sleep

In the distant dawn a church bell rings

Another day is comin' on

A baby's born, an old man dies

Somewhere young lovers kiss goodbye

I leave my soul and just move on

And wish that I was there to sing this song

(Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la)

It's midnight in Chelsea (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

Oh, midnight in Chelsea (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

No one's askin' me for favors (Sha, la, la, la)

No one's lookin' for a savior (Sha, la, la)

They're too busy savin' me (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

It's midnight in Chelsea (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

No one's pinned their dreams on me

No one's askin' me to plea

I'm the man I wanna be

The man I wanna be, the man I wanna be (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

Midnight in Chelsea (Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

(Sha, la, la, la, sha, la, la)

(Sha, la, la, la)
