LUST FOR LIFE (FEAT. THE WEEKND)
By
Lana Del Rey
***************
[Lana Del Rey:]
Climb up the H
Of the Hollywood sign, yeah
In these stolen moments
The world is mine (duwop, duwop)
There’s nobody here
Just us together (shuwop, shuwop)
Keepin’ me hot
Like July forever
‘Cause we’re the masters of our own fate
We’re the captains of our own souls
There’s no way for us to come away
‘Cause boy we’re gold, boy we’re gold
And I was like…
[Lana Del Rey & The Weeknd:]
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain’t right
‘Cause we’re having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Then, we dance on the H
Of the Hollywood sign, yeah
‘Til we run out of breath
Gotta dance ’til we die (duwop, duwop)
My boyfriend’s back
And he’s cooler than ever (shuwop, shuwop)
There’s no more night
Blue skies forever
[The Weeknd:]
‘Cause we’re the masters of our own fate
We’re the captains of our own souls
So there’s no need for us to hesitate
We’re all alone, let’s take control
And I was like…
[The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey:]
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain’t right
‘Cause we’re having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
My boyfriend’s back
And he’s cooler than ever
There’s no more night
Blue skies forever
I told you twice
In our love letter
There’s no stopping now
Green lights forever
And I was like…
[Lana Del Rey:]
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
[Lana Del Rey & The Weeknd:]
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
HIGH BY THE BEACH
***************
Boy, look at you, looking at me
I know you know how I feel
Loving you is hard, being here is harder
You take the wheel
I don’t wanna do this anymore
It’s so surreal, I can’t survive
If this is all that’s real
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never
Bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
Cause I know that
All I wanted to do is get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
Boy look at you, looking at me
I know you don’t understand
You could be a bad motherfucker
But that don’t make you a man
Now you’re just another one of my problems
Because you got out of hand
We won’t survive
We’re sinking into the sand
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never
Bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
Cause I know that
All I wanted to do is get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
Lights, camera, acción
I’ll do it on my own
Don’t need your money, money
To get me what I want
Lights camera acción
I’ll do it on my own
Don’t need your money, money
To get me what I want
All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high by the beach, get high
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye, bye
The truth is I never
Bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
Cause I know that
All I wanted to do is get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye, bye
High-igh-igh-igh
[x4]
Everyone can start again
Not through love but through revenge
Through the fire, we’re born again
Peace by vengeance
Brings the end
QUEEN OF THE GAS STATION
***************
Give me coffee, king-sized cup
Come on, kitty cat, fill her up
What’s your name, little buttercup?
That’s for me to know and you to make up
Love casinos and neon reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station
Look at you smoking in them neon lights
Under the thunder, yo, you look so nice
Made me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them looking for men I might like
Like you
Like you
Like you
Love casinos and neon reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Take me to the gas station
Give me coffee, Utah love
I’m the kind of girl you dream of
I’m trying to tell you what I dream of
And that’s gas stations
With slurpee machines and organs playing
Preferably with smoking inside
If you can swing it
Can I be real pleased if we could find one just like here
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Love casinos and neon reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station
Gas station
Gas station
Gas station
WITHOUT YOU
***************
Everything I want I have:
Money, notoriety and rivieras.
I even think I found God
In the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras,
Pretty cameras, pretty cameras.
Am I glamorous? Tell me am I glamorous?
Hello? Hello?
C-can you hear me?
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy you’re so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They all think I have it all.
I’ve nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you.
Summertime is nice and hot,
And my life is sweet like vanilla is.
Gold and silver line my heart
But burned into to my brain are these stolen images,
Stolen images, baby, stolen images.
Can you picture it
Babe the life we could’ve lived?
Hello? Hello?
C-can you hear me?
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy you’re so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They all think I have it all.
I’ve nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you.
We were two kids, just tryin’ to get out,
Live on the dark side of the American dream.
We would dance all night, play our music loud,
When we grew up nothing was what it seemed.
Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me?
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy you’re so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They think that I have it all.
I’ve nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you.
Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me?
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy you’re so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They think that I have it all.
I’ve nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing if I can’t have you.
LOVE
***************
Look at you, kids, with your vintage music
Comin’ through satellites while cruisin’
You’re part of the past, but now you’re the future
Signals crossing can get confusing
It’s enough just to make you feel crazy, crazy, crazy
Sometimes, it’s enough just to make you feel crazy
You get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
Doesn’t matter ’cause it’s enough
To be young and in love
To be young and in love
Look at you, kids, you know you’re the coolest
The world is yours and you can’t refuse it
Seen so much, you could get the blues but
That don’t mean that you should abuse it
Though it’s enough just to make you go crazy, crazy, crazy
I know, it’s enough just to make you go crazy, crazy, crazy
But you get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
It don’t matter because it’s enough
To be young and in love
To be young and in love
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
And it’s enough just to make me go crazy, crazy, crazy
It’s enough just to make me go crazy, crazy, crazy
I get ready, I get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
It doesn’t matter if I’m not enough
For the future or the things to come
‘Cause I’m young and in love
I’m young and in love
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
BODY ELECTRIC
***************
Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother,
Jesus is my bestest friend.
We don’t need nobody, we got each other,
At least I pretend.
We get down every Friday night,
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight.
Grand all the prayer, feelin’ alright,
She prays the rosary for my broken mind.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I’m on fire, baby, I’m on fire.
Whitman is my daddy, Monaco’s my mother,
Diamonds are my bestest friend.
Heaven is my baby, suicide’s her father,
Opulence is the end.
We get down every Friday night,
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight.
Grand Ole Opry, feelin’ alright,
She prays the rosary for my broken mind.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I’m on fire, baby, I’m on fire.
My clothes still smell like you,
All the photographs say, that we’re still young.
I pretend I’m not hurt,
I walk about the world like I’m havin’ fun.
We get crazy every Friday night,
I drop it like it’s hot in the pale moonlight.
And when I pray, I’m feelin’ alright,
She’s swayin’ softly, to her heart’s delight.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I’m on fire, sugar, I’m on fire.
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric, baby.
