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 getting used to The old man with the whisky stains Lost the night and forgot his name His poor wife will sleepalone 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 favours (Sha la la la, Sha la la) No one's looking for a saviour (Sha la la la, Sha la la) They're too busy saving me (Sha la la la, Sha la la) I seen a lonesome rainy drive Seems the chauffer took a dive Sold his 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 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 asking me for favours (Sha la la la, Sha la la) No one's looking for a saviour (Sha la la la, Sha la la) They're too busy saving me (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 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 Sha 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 Ah Midnight in Chelsea No one's askin' me for favours (Sha la la la, Sha la la) No one's looking for a saviour (Sha la la la, Sha la la) They're too busy saving me (Sha la la la, Sha la la) It's Midnight in Chelsea (Sha la la la, Sha la la) Hoho ho (Sha la la la, Sha la la) 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 (Sha la la la, Sha la la) Midnight in Chelsea (Sha la la la, Sha la la)
