Midnight in Chelsea

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Kids 'round here look just like sticks 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 Takes a little bit of gettin' 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 holdin' on to her own hand [Chorus] 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 (Sha la la la, sha la la) Savin' me [Verse 2] I seen a lone Sloane Ranger drive Seems her chauffer 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 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 that's packed so tight It disappears in a trail of light Somewhere, someone's dreamin' Baby, it's alright [Chorus] 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) At midnight in Chelsea (Sha la la la, sha la la) No one's pinnin' dreams on me No one's askin' me to plea I'm the man I wanna be [Bridge] When Chelsea girls sing Sha la la la, sha la la la Sha la la la, sha la la la Oh-oh Sha la la la, sha la la la Sha la la la, sha la la la Oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh) [Verse 3] 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 good-bye I leave my soul and just move on And wish that I was there to sing this song [Chorus] (Sha la la la, sha la la) It's midnight in Chelsea (Sha la la la, sha la la) Ah, 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 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 (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)
