Chelsea's Hotel

Fling the insulation in the dumpster Were expanding our empire of love for her So tear it all down now, every building here Most of all the skyscrapers of bitterness and fear Rip the gypsum out and haul it all away Level every structure down to the solid orange clay Spread out the blueprints so we can start To build a hotel on her heart Cause Im not leaving, this is just the place Ive been homeless since the dimples on her simple face And Ive spent my fortune, Ive torn the town apart To build a hotel on her heart Well build it by the beach so she can reach the salty wind Well make it out of poems and the books she writes them in A forty-story eyesore by the seaside So she can go swim oh in the ocean whenever she likes And she likes some other boy now so well have to wait But when shes done with him hell shake the painted iron gate And hell say, Chelsea, baby, did I do you wrong? And shell say, no, Darwin was gonna win me all along Cause Im not leaving, this is just the place Ive been homeless since the dimples on her simple face And Ive spent my fortune, Ive torn the town apart To build a hotel on her heart Have you ever seen a wrecking ball as small as her? She smashes up my glasses when she passes but it doesnt hurt I cant see straight now with this crush But I have all of this love to give and theres no rush Cause Im not leaving, this is just the place Ive been homeless since the dimples on her simple face And Ive spent my fortune, Ive torn the town apart To build a hotel on her heart Chelsea, this is for you Hey, this is for you
