Would she dare recite soliloquies at the risk of stark applause
Of Chelsea Monday
She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene

She was only dreaming
Sweet Chelsea Monday

Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen
Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
In the city of dreamers
She'll pray for endless Sundays as she enters saffron sunsets
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
She was only dreaming
Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose
Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of London

She was only dreaming
Hello John, did you see the standard about four hours ago?
Chelsea Monday
Sweet Chelsea Monday
Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going
Chelsea Monday

Chelsea Monday
She was only dreaming

Fished a young chick out of the old father
She said she wanted to be an actress or something
Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
She was only dreaming
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile

She was only dreaming
What a waste
Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles
Blond hair, blue eyes

She was only dreaming
Awaiting the prince in his white Capri
She was smiling
She was only dreaming
To Chelsea Monday
Funny thing was she had a smile on her face
Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams
Dynamic young Tarzan courts the bedsit queen
Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn
She's learning her lines from glossy magazines
Of Chelsea Monday
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Chelsea Monday
Fulfilled and yet forgotten the St.Tropez mirage
