The Chelsea Hotel

Down at the Chelsea Hotel, with poetry and paintings
The walls are still holding memories of people who fell
Down through the years, fighting their fears

Down at the Chelsea Hotel
A sailor was dying to end all his feelings
Everything had just turned to hell, his lover was gone
But we have to carry on

We will carry on, searching for truth with perpetual youth that will fade
And be gone in the blink of an eye
The world will be passing us by

Down at the Chelsea Hotel
Where Raymond is writing of poets and painters
It's something he does very well
A lover of his art, a lover in his heart

At the Chelsea Hotel
Where lovers and fighters are desperately dreaming
Of checking their hearts at the door
Never really sure, we've all been here before

We've all been here before, searching for truth searching for truth with perpetual youth that will fade
And what's more in the blink of an eye, the world will be passing us by
At the Chelsea Hotel, at the Chelsea Hotel, down at the Chelsea Hotel
