Chelsea Hotel #9 (Bard Mix Demo)

Chelsea Hotel #9 - 2009 Michael Skall

Hey Artie where the hell did Stanley go?

Did they take him with the garbage to the pavement down below?

They're tearin' out your mailbox, they're sawing up your doors,

Ain't this the fucking Chelsea Hotel anymore?

 

Hey David why'd you leave your soul on the wall?

Just another chapter, after the fall.

We know you can't afford it, we know you're gone for sure.

Ain't this the fucking Chelsea Hotel anymore?

 

23rd. Street Cries...

23rd. Street Dies...

23rd. Street Cries...for the state you're in tonight.

 

Hey Ed where have all the writers gone?

Where are all the poems? Where are all the songs?

Are they bleeding out like Nancy on the bathroom floor?

Ain't this the fucking Chelsea Hotel anymore?

 

23rd. Street Cries...

23rd. Street Dies...

23rd. Street Cries...for the state you're in tonight.

 

Now Dylan's room is gutted, and Leonard's got a plaque.

If they were here now they'd probably stab 'em in the back.

An artist needs a lover, not another greedy whore.

This ain't the fucking Chelsea Hotel anymore.
