Chelsea Hotel #21,252 Lyrics

I'd like to stay at the Chelsea Hotel when it reopens in 2019

And I'll do a whole lot of drugs in my auspicious residency

It'll be decorated to look run down with water damage painted on the ceilings

And I'll play a Steinway they bring to my room trying to capture my feelings

I'll write on the walls in erasable ink to do what I think Patti Smith does

And I'll write an award-winning ballad all about getting my dick sucked

If I could stay at the Chelsea Hotel

I'd spend all my time photographing myself

Be like my heroes, just for a day
I want to be real and I'm willing to pay

I'd like to stay at the Chelsea Hotel when it reopens in 2019

But rent will include cable and wi-fi and dryer and washing machine

I'll tell everyone that I'm writing a book or an album or movie or something…

And I'll fall in love with someone down the hall but I'll see them and I'll take off running

I'd like to live in my own little world where everything I do is important

So book me a room at the Chelsea Hotel and I'll pretend I'm too poor to afford it

If I could stay at the Chelsea Hotel

I'd spend all my time photographing myself

Be like my heroes, just for a day
I want to be real and I'm willing to pay
