MERMAID HOTEL
By
Lana Del Rey
***************
Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing the national anthem
I, a white sweater, for the last white day
Of the summer
Buy my purple wig
For my mermaid video
Walk back to where we live
In a motel
I’ll never tell, never knew
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
Maybe we could go to Suede Tokyo
Or see Van Halen at their reunion show
Heavy metal hour on T.V.
Diamond Dave and Ray late
And you salute me, Miss America
Because I am, I am
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing you to sleep
God bless the universe, god bless the ocean
God bless you and god bless me
God bless you and god bless me
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
SUMMERTIME SADNESS
***************
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you’re the best
I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Got my hair up real big beauty queen style
High heels off, I’m feeling alive
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above, all sizzling like a snare
Honey I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you’re the best
I’ve got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh
I’m feelin’ electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin’ ’bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I’ll die happy tonight
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above, all sizzling like a snare
Honey I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you’re the best
I’ve got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh
I think I’ll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies
Late is better than never
Even if I’m gone I’m gonna drive, drive
I’ve got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh
Kiss me hard before you go
Summer time sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you’re the best
I’ve got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh
JUMP
***************
Palm trees in black and white
Last thing I saw before I died
Palm trees in black and white
Was the last thing I saw before I died
Right line, right man
Right mixture of cocaine an heroin
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you, do you wanna?
Heaven in
Cadillac convertible with him
Hot shot at two A.M.
You got that grin of a very hollow man
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you, do you wanna?
Palm trees in black and white
You hot junkie on your window smiling wide
Palm trees in black and white
Lean forward and you close your eyes
Last fight, fuck them
Last words before you went and left again
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?
Do you, do you, do you wanna?
Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, do it better than
Just do what you love, do it better than
Do you wanna?
Do you wanna?
Jump
BURNING DESIRE
***************
Every Saturday night I get dressed up to ride for you, baby
Cruising down the street on Hollywood and Vine for you, baby
I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don’t care
You ask me where I’ve been?
I been everywhere
I don’t wanna be no where but here
Come on tell me boy
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don’t care
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire for you
Every Saturday night I seem to come alive for you, baby
Santa Monica, I’m racing in the lights for you, baby
I drive fast, radio blares, have to touch myself to pretend you’re there
Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips
Over over again, like my only prayer
Come on tell me boy
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don’t care
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I’m driving fast, flash, everyone knows it
I’m trying to get to you, baby
I’m feeling scared and you know it
I’m driving fast, flash, everyone knows it
I’m trying to get to you, baby
I’m feeling scared and you know it
I’m driving fast, flash, everyone knows it
I’m trying to get to you, baby
I’m feeling scared and you know it
I’m driving fast, flash, everyone knows it
I’m trying to get to you, baby
I’m feeling scared and you know it
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don’t care
I got a burning desire for you, baby
I got a burning desire
CHERRY
***************
Love
I said real love, it’s like feeling no fear
When you’re standing in the face of danger
‘Cause you just want it so much
A touch
From your real love
It’s like heaven taking the place of something evil
And lettin’ it burn off from the rush
Yeah, yeah
(Fuck)
Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
I fall to pieces when I’m with you, I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)
Love, is it real love?
It’s like smiling when the firing squad’s against you
And you just stay lined up
Yeah
(Fuck)
Darlin’, darlin’, darlin’
I fall to pieces when I’m with you, I fall to pieces (bitch)
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined, bitch)
My rose garden dreams, set on fire by fiends
And all my black beaches (are ruined)
My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams
And I fall to pieces (bitch)
I fall to pieces when I’m with you
(Why?)
‘Cause I love you so much, I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined, bitch)
Are ruined (bitch)
Are ruined (fuck)
BORN TO DIE
***************
What?
Who me?
What?
Feet don’t fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I’m hoping at the gates,
They’ll tell me that you’re mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design
I feel so alone on the Friday nights
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine
It’s like I told you honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words, this is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Trying to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn’t find
All the answers honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die
Come on and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come on take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane…
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die
