RAISE ME UP (MISSISSIPPI SOUTH)
By
Lana Del Rey
***************
Just like you said
It’s all been done before
I don’t have to talk pretty
For them no more
I can talk what I want, how I wanna
I can talk what I want, how I wanna
I don’t have to talk taste for you, mama
No, no
Ray, ray, ray
Raise me up
It’s the voodoo, mississippi south
69 million stars
Birds are flying out of my mouth
Spirits creeping in my yard
Hold my head, it’s tilting back
Something dancing me around
Putting crystals on my neck
Lifting my feet off the ground
Ray, ray, ray
Raise me up
Oh, see, what you’ve done now
Oh, me, just what I’m talking about
Oh, see, what you’ve done now
Ohh, me, it’s what I’m talking bout
Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll down, you’ve got it going on
Lemme talk on your CB, what?
Lemme play with your new shotgun
Ray, ray, ray
Raise me up
13 BEACHES
***************
I don’t belong in the world
That’s what it is
Something separates me from other people
Everywhere I turn
There’s something blocking my escape
It took thirteen beaches to find one empty
But finally it’s mine
With dripping peaches
I’m camera ready
Almost all the time
But I still get lonely
And baby only then
Do I let myself recline?
Can I let go?
And let your memory dance
In the ballroom of my mind
Across the county line
It hurts to love you
But I still love you
It’s just the way I feel
And I’d be lying
If I kept hiding
The fact that I can’t deal
And that I’ve been dying
For something real
That I’ve been dying
For something real
It took thirteen beaches to find one empty
But finally I’m fine
Past Ventura
And lenses plenty
In the white sunshine
But you still can find me
If you ask nicely
Underneath the pines
With the daisies
Feeling hazy
In the ballroom of my mind
Across the county line
It hurts to love you
But I still love you
It’s just the way I feel
And I’d be lying
If I kept hiding
The fact that I can’t deal
And that I’ve been dying
For something real
That I’ve been dying
For something real
It hurts to love you
But I still love you
It’s just the way I feel
And I’d be lying
If I kept hiding
The fact that I can deal
The fact that I can deal
NATIONAL ANTHEM
***************
Money is the anthem
Of success
So before we go out
What’s your address?
I’m your National Anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bugatti Veyron
He loves to romance them
Reckless abandon
Holdin’ me for ransom
Upper echelon
He says to “be cool” but
I don’t know how yet
Wind in my hair
Hand on the back of my neck
I said, “Can we party later on?”
He said, “Yes, yes”
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down
Making me so wow, wow
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your National Anthem
Money is the reason
We exist
Everybody knows it, it’s a fact
Kiss, kiss
I sing the National Anthem
While I’m standing over your body
Hold you like a python
And you can’t keep your hands off me
Or your pants on
See what you’ve done to me
Give me Chevron
He said to “be cool” but
I’m already coolest
I said to, “Get real,”
“Don’t you know who you’re dealing with?
Um, do you think you’ll buy me lots of diamonds?”
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down
Making me so wow, wow
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your National Anthem
It’s a love story for the new age
For the six page
Want a quick sick rampage?
Wining and dining
Drinking and driving
Excessive buying
Overdosin’, dyin’
On our drugs and our love
And our dreams and our rage
Blurring the lines between real and the fake
Dark and lonely
I need somebody to hold me
We will do very well
I can tell, I can tell
Keep my safe in his bell tower, hotel
Money is the anthem of success
So put on mascara, and your party dress
I’m your National Anthem
Boy, put your hands up
Give me a standing ovation
Boy, you have landed
Babe, in the land of
Sweetness and Danger
Queen of Saigon
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down
Making me so wow, wow
Tell me I’m your National Anthem
Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your National Anthem
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem
Of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem
Of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem
Of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem
Of success

LOLYTA
***************
One, one
Would you be mine, would you be my baby tonight
Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine
Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got don’t you know
It’s you that I adore, though I make the boys fall like dominoes
Kiss me in the d.a.r.k. dark tonight
D.a.r.k. do it my way
Kiss me in the p.a.r.k. park tonight
P.a.r.k. let them all say
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
I know what the boys want, I’m not gonna play
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
Whistle all you want but I’m not gonna say
Never was in love, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feelin the heat beatin when the sun goes down
I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight
Topple you down from your sky forty stories high
Shining like a god, cant believe I got you inside
Look at what I bought, not a second thought, oh romeo
Kiss me in the d.a.r.k. dark tonight
D.a.r.k. do it my way
Kiss me in the p.a.r.k. park tonight
P.a.r.k. let them all say
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
I know what the boys want, I’m not gonna play
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
Whistle all you want but I’m not gonna say
Never was in love, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feelin the heat beatin when the sun goes down
I want my cake and I want to eat it too
I want to have fun and be in love with you
I know that I’m a mess with my long hair and my suntan, short dress, bare feet
I don’t care what they say about me, what they say about me
Because I know that it’s L.O.V.E.
You make me happy, you make me happy
And I never listen to anyone..
Let them all say
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
I know what the boys want, I’m not gonna play
Hey lolyta, hey
Hey lolyta, hey
Whistle all you want but I’m not gonna say
Never was in love, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown
Just you and me feelin the heat beatin when the sun goes down
COLA (PUSSY)
***************
My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola,
My eyes are wide like cherry pies.
I gots a taste for men who’re older,
It’s always been so it’s no surprise.
Harvey’s in the sky with diamonds and he’s making me crazy (I come alive at night)
All he wants to do it party with his pretty baby.
Come on baby, let’s ride
We can escape the great sunshine.
I know your wife and she wouldn’t mind
We made it out to the other side
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, baby.
I fall asleep on an American flag
I wear my diamonds on skid row
I pledge allegiance to my dad
For teaching me everything he knows
Harvey’s in the sky with diamonds and he’s making me crazy (I come alive at night)
All he wants to do it party with his pretty baby
Come on baby, let’s ride
We can escape the great sunshine.
I know your wife and she wouldn’t mind
We made it out to the other side
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, baby
