Chelsea Hotel

I still smell tobacco on my fingers

My breath reeks of pot and wine and sex

My eyes have opened up like they haven't in years

So I won't miss whatever happens next

You call me a thief

All right I'm a thief

Grab your summons come and ring my bell

I'll be making love with my babe at the Chelsea Hotel

I told you to meet me at 8: 00

I said I'd be drinking at the bar

I drove between New York and Laguardia

Trying to return a rented car

We keep missing connections today

But tomorrow will be just as well

I gotta go make love with my babe at the Chelsea Hotel

I been walking all around this neighborhood

My former love

It seems as far away and sad in May as those rainclouds above

I hope you're happy in whatever you're doing

I hope you're doing well

And please don't try to contact me at the Chelsea Hotel

I was starting to think

The world was gonna end when the calenar turns

But now you're here I see the future baby

And they can let the calendar burn

New love is beautiful

But new love is sad

New love brings back all the older love that you've ever had

I put out a casting call

And you cast a spell

And we're practicing for the millenium

Making love at the Chelsea Hotel

So who knows what tomorrow brings

But I know where I'll be waking up

Last chance to listen to our breath tonight

And the breeze through the window she's opened up

Can you feel our hearts beating

Which one's yours, which one's mine, who can tell

It's just another day of making love at the Chelsea Hotel

Spent all day making love at the Chelsea Hotel
