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...
