lyrics

CHELSEA HOTEL

So what if you lived at the Chelsea Hotel
Last time I was there your place looked like hell
All the must and the mold sunk into my clothes
And now I can’t get rid of the smell

So what if you lived at the Chelsea Hotel
Last time I saw you your whole face had these welts
From the dust and the blow that ate holes in your nose
And it seemed like you couldn’t even tell

So what if you lived
So what if you lived
So what if you lived at the Chelsea Hotel
No one remembers you well

So what if you died at the Chelsea Hotel
I still can’t forgive you for never having felt
For me as you did for those stupid drugs
For me as I held you, withdrawn from my love

I hope that you like it in hell
I hope that you like it in hell
I hope that you like it as much as your days
And nights in the Chelsea Hotel

So what if you lived
So what if you lived
So what if you lived at the Chelsea Hotel
No one remembers you well
