How long's it gonna be, babe Before I get over you, doll I bet it's gonna be a while now, kid What with you living right up the hall And I'm tired of living in this hotel Snow and rain falling through the sheets In fact I'm tired of 23rd Street Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night Maybe you just didn't read me right The lights went out and you just didn't understand I played your song; I got the melody all wrong Wound your shit up like some rubber bands And I'm tired of living in this hotel Fire and rain blowing through the streets In fact I'm tired of 23rd Street Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night I feel like getting rid of all my things Maybe just disappear into the fog The traffic roars; my stomach screams Like a gang of angry dogs And I'm tired of living here in this hotel TV and dirty magazines And I'm just trying to get a little sleep Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night Strung out like some Christmas lights Out there in the Chelsea night
