Lana Del Rey - Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have - But I Have It

I was reading Slim Aarons

And I got to thinking that I thought

Maybe I'd get less stressed

If I was tested less like all of these debutantes

Smiling for miles in pink dresses

And high heels on white yachts

But I'm not

Baby I'm not

No, I'm not

That I'm not

I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown

24/7, Sylvia Plath

Writing in blood on my walls

'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad

Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not

But at best I can say I'm not sad

'Cause hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

Hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

I had fifteen-year dances

Church basement romances yeah I've cried

Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums

Is the only love I've ever known

Except for the stage which I also call home when I'm not

Serving up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad

Hello it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad

Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi dad"

I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown

Like a goddamn near sociopath

Shaking my ass is the only thing that's

Got this black narcissist off my back

She couldn't care less and I never cared more

So there's no more to say about that

Except hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

Hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman with my past

There's a new revolution

A loud evolution

That I saw

Born of confusion

And quiet collusion

Of which mostly I've known

A modern day woman

With a weak constitution

'Cause I've got

Monsters still under my bed

That I could never fight off

A gatekeeper carelessly dropping

The keys on my nights off

I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown

24/7, Sylvia Plath

Writing in blood on your walls

'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad

T hey write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not

But at best you can see I'm not sad

But hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

Hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

Hope is a dangerous thing

For a woman like me to have

But I have it

Yeah, I have it

Yeah, I have it

I have

Lana Del Rey - Love Song

In the car, in the car, in the backseat I'm your baby
We go fast, we go so fast we don't move
I believe in a place you take me
Make you real proud of your baby
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burning through you
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burning through you

Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lying on your chest
In my party dress
I'm a fucking mess, but I

Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, you's the best
Passed the test and yes
Now I'm here with you and I

Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

Dream a dream, use the scene, touch me anywhere 'cause I'm your baby
Grab my waist, don't waste any part
I believe that you see me for who I am
So spill my clothes on the floor of your new car
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?

Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lying on your chest
In my party dress
I'm a fucking mess, but I

Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, you's the best
Passed the test and yes
Now I'm here with you and I

Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

Lana Del Rey - Mariners Apartment Complex

You took my sadness out of context
At the Mariner's apartment complex
I ain't no candle in the wind

I'm the bolt, the lightning, the thunder
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
Who you are and who you been

And who I've been is with you on these beaches
Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness
Maybe I could save you from your sins

So, kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus
My, my, my, you found this, you need this
Take a deep breath, baby, let me in

You lose your way, just take my hand
You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
I'm your man
I'm your man

They mistook my kindness for weakness
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus
Can't a girl just do the best she can?

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
Think about it, the darkness, the deepness
All the things that make me who I am

And who I am is a big time believer
That people can change, but you don't have to leave her
When everyone's talking, you can make a stand

'Cause even in the dark I feel your resistance
You can see my heart burning in the distance
Baby, baby, baby, I'm your man (yeah)

You lose your way, just take my hand
You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
I'm your man
I'm your man

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
Take in the sweetness
You want this, you need this
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?

Lana Del Rey - The Greatest

I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe
I miss dancing with you the most of all
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go
Dennis's last stop before Kokomo

Those nights were on fire
We couldn't get higher
We didn't know that we had it all
But nobody warns you before the fall

I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I've had a ball
I guess I'm signing off after all

I miss New York and I miss the music
Me and my friends, we miss rock 'n' roll
I want shit to feel just like it used to
And, baby, I was doing nothing the most of all

The culture is lit
And if this is it
I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all

Oh I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I've had a ball
But I guess that I'm burned out after all

If this is it, I'm signing off
Miss doing nothing the most of all
Hawaii just missed a fireball
LA's in flames, it's getting hot
Kanye West is blond and gone
Life on Mars ain't just a song
I hope the lifestream's almost on
