It's midnight in Chelsea, yeah
It takes a little bit of getting used to
They're too busy saving me
No one's asking me for favors
Someone's getting off tonight
Somewhere young lovers kiss good-bye
No one's looking for a savior
Of a big red bus that's packed so tight
No one's looking for a savior
Chase their shadows in the dark
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
Midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
The man I want to be, the man I want to be
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
No one's pinned dreams on me
I've seen a lone, Sloane ranger drive
And it ain't hard to understand
A baby's born, an old man dies
And sold her secrets to the sun
No one's pinned dreams on me
Lost the night forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
I leave my soul and just move on
Gothic girls all dress in black
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
Why she's holding on to her own hand
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
I'm the man I want to be when Chelsea girls sing
It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea
It's morning when I go to sleep
I'm the man I want to be
No one's asking me for favors
They're too busy saving me
They're too busy saving me
No one's asking me for favors
It disappears in a trail of light
I just smile and catch the groove
To be a saint, not a queen
And wish that I was there to sing this song
The old man with the whiskey stains
No one's asking me to bleed
Serious as heart attacks
No one's asking me to bleed
No one's looking for a savior
Somewhere someone's dreaming, baby, it's all right
And later in a magazine I finally figured what it means
Another day is coming on
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
