Lana Del Rey - Off To The Races Lyrics

Lana Del Rey - Off To The Races Lyrics

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, ah 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
Cuz 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 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
And I’m off to the races. Cases of Bacardi chasers. Chasing me all over town
Cuz 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
[vocalise]
You are my one true love
