Lana Del Rey - Off to the races lyrics

Your rating:
My old man is a bad man, but I can’t deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me he has me by my heart
He doesn’t mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn’t mind I have an LA crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
Swimming pool, glimmering darling, white bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
You sipping, sipping on your black Cristal, ooh yeah

Light of my life, fire of my loins, be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire of my loins, gimme them gold coins gimme them coins
And I’m off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers, chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I’m wasted, facing time again at Rikers Island and I won’t get out
Because I’m crazy, baby, I need you to come here and save me
I’m your little scarlet starlet singing in the garden, kiss me on my open mouth, ready for you

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, brokedown life
In fact, he says he thinks it’s why he might like about me
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone
Likes to watch me in the glass-room, bathroom, trapdoor mama
Slippin’ on my red dress, putting on my makeup
Glass-room perfume, cognac lilac fumes, says it feel like heaven to him

Light of my life, fire of my loins, be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire of my loins, gimme them gold coins gimme them coins
And I’m off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers, chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I’m wasted, facing time again at Rikers Island and I won’t get out
Because I’m crazy baby, I need you to come here and save me
I’m your little scarlet starlet singing in the garden, kiss me on my open mouth

Now I’m off to the races, laces, leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down
I can see your faces, shameless, Chip Brioni's basement, love you, but I’m going down
God, I’m so crazy, baby, I’m sorry that I’m misbehaving
I’m your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island, raising hell all over town, sorry ’bout it

My old man is a thief and I’m going to stay and pray with him ’til the end
But I trust him, 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 would die without him
Who else is going to put with me this way, I need you I breathe you
I’d 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, “Hun, you never looked so beautiful, as you do now, my man”

And we’re off to the races, places, ready, set, the gate is down and then we are going in
To Las Vegas, chaos, casino oasis, honey, it is time to spit
Boy, you’re so crazy, baby, I love you forever, not maybe
You are my one true love, you are my one true love
You are my one true love
