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
