Off To The Races - Lana Del Rey
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn’t mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it’s what he might like about me
Admires me, the way I roll like a rolling stone
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippin’ on my red dress, puttin’ on my makeup
Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac
Fumes, says it feels like heaven to him
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you want me
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me you want me, gimme them coins
My old man is a thief and I’m gonna stay and pray with him ‘til the end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
I’m not afraid to say that I’d die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
They would rue the day I was alone without you
You’re lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips
I said “Hon’ you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man.”
