Chelsea Hotel (Leonard Cohen Cover) Songtext

And those were the reasons and that was New York

We were running for the money and the flesh

That was called love for the workers in song

But it still is for those of us left



Ah, but you got away, didn't you, babe?

You just turned your back on the crowd

You got away, never once heard you say

I need you, I don't need you

I need you, I don't need you
All of that driving around



I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

You were famous, your heart was a legend

You told me again you preferred handsome men

But for me your would make exceptions



You're clenching your fists for the ones like us

Who are pressed by the figures of beauty

You fixed yourself, you said if I might

We are only, we have the music



And you got away, didn't you, babe?

You just turned your back on the crowd

You got away, never once heard you say

I need you, I don't need you

I need you, I don't need you

All of that driving around



I don't mean to say just that I loved you fast

I can't keep track of each fallen ribbon

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel

That's all, I don't think of you that often
