RIDE
By
Lana Del Rey
***************
I’ve been out on that open road
You can be my full time, daddy
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time, baby
Hot or cold
Don’t break me down
I’ve been travelin’ too long
I’ve been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin’ hard not to get into trouble, but I
I’ve got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
Dying young and I’m playing hard
That’s the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk ’til dark
That’s the way the road dogs do it, ride ’til dark.
Don’t leave me now
Don’t say good bye
Don’t turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin’ hard not to get into trouble, but I
I’ve got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I’m tired of feeling like I’m fucking crazy
I’m tired of driving ’till I see stars in my eyes
I look up to hear myself saying,
Baby, too much I strive, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin’ hard not to get into trouble, but I
I’ve got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
SUMMER BUMMER (FEAT. PLAYBOI CARTI & A$AP ROCKY)
***************
[Lana Del Rey:]
It’s never too late
To be who you wanna be
To say what you wanna say
It’s never too late
To leave if you wanna leave
Or to stay if you wanna stay
But, baby
I got a feeling in my bones
Can’t get you out of my veins
You can’t escape my affection
Wrap you up in my daisy chains
Hip-hop in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe
High tops in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe, mmm
[A$AP Rocky:]
Uh, her sophistication makes you wanna quit the bitch you datin’
Let’s skip the games, let’s quit the playin’
Boo, let’s get acquainted
Notifications sync in place even when we’re on vacation
I knew she’d notice like I missed the payment, dang it
But bang it like my fingers
She pray to God I made it
But bankin’ like my Franklins
My neighbors stopped the hatin’
What?
Huh?
Slide inside it
Diddy Boppin’
Milly Rockin’
She just might become my lover for real
I might fuck with her all summer for real
They better not holla if I cuff her for real
Niggas better run for cover for real
Goin’ bell how I feel, close the deal, pop a seal
Take the whip, two pills on the lips on the real
Truthfully between you and me I’m usually single
When it’s hot outside this, I ride through any hood with the top out
Hop out
[Lana Del Rey:]
Hip-hop in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe
High tops in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe, mmm
White lights and black beaches
Miles in between us
Is this love or lust or some game on repeat?
It’s like making me crazy
Tell me, “have patience”
Baby, I need this
White lines and black beaches
White lights and black beaches
And blood red sangrias
We traveled for weeks
Just to escape your demons
But you’ve got your reasons
In making me crazy
But you’ve got your reasons
White lights and black beaches
Like doves in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Don’t be a bummer
Don’t be a bummer
Hip-hop in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe
High tops in the summer
Don’t be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe
Don’t be a bummer, babe
CARMEN
***************
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem
Lying to herself cause her liquour’s top shelf
It’s alarming honestly how charming she can be
Fooling everyone, telling him she’s having fun
She says you don’t want to be like me
Don’t wanna see all the things I’ve seen
I’m dying, I’m dying
She says you don’t want to get this way
Famous, and dumb, and no age
Lying, I’m lying”
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
She gives them butterflies, that’s a girl too nice
She laughs like god, her mind’s like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she’s still shining
Like lightning, ohh, like lightning
Carmen, carmen, staying up til morning
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
It’s alarming truly how disarming you can be eating soft ice cream
Coney Island Queen
She says you don’t want to be like me
Looking for fun, get me high for free
I’m dying, I’m dying
She says you don’t want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day
It’s tiring, tiring
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
She gives them butterflies, that’s a girl too nice
She laughs like god, her mind’s like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she’s still shining
Like lightning, ohh, like lightning
Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
That’s the little story of the girl you know
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favors
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on
And you’re alive again
Mon amour, je sais que tu m’aimes aussi
Tu as besoin de moi
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
Et je mourrais sans toi
Je tuerais pour toi
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
She gives them butterflies, that’s a girl too nice
She laughs like god, her mind’s like a diamond
Buy her tonight, she’s still shining
Like lightning, ohh, like lightning
Like lightning, ohh, like lightning
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem
Lying to herself cause her liquour’s top shelf
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
***************
Oh, say can you see my stars
The night time is almost ours
To wander through Hayley’s and look at the bars
Night time is almost ours
The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face then they’ve made the dark
The voice of Nirvana says, “Come as you are”
And I will
The night time is almost ours
A sway of the hips and arms
We’ll cradle you from afar
They swing till you tire and send it alarms
Night time is almost ours
GRAMMA
***************
Gramma said she’ll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there there’s a good man, waiting for me
A.M.E.R.I.C.A.
All I want to do is play
See the city every day
Pretty party nation
Tell me that you think I’m good
Happy that I make you glad
‘Cause I don’t want to think I’m bad, Gramma
I don’t want to think I’m bad

Trouble’s what feels good to me
Crazy as since I was three
Now I’m out to get you
But I’d have bet that lately, Ma
And I’m in love with everyone
And I don’t want to think I’m wrong
Just for feeling pretty
Gramma said she’ll leave the lights on for me

Tell me do you think that’s wrong?
Don’t cry, honey, crazy girl
Don’t you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try to remember what you are

MILLION DOLLAR MAN
***************
You said I was the most exotic flower
Holding me tight in our final hour
I don’t know how you convince them and get them, boy
I don’t know what you do, but you’re unbelievable
And I don’t know how you get over, get over
Someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I’m ready, I’m ready to go
How did you get that way? I don’t know
You’re screwed up and brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
You got that world but baby at what price
Something so strange, and it’s hard to define
It isn’t that hard boy, to like you or even love you
I will follow you down down down,
Why? Cause you’re unbelievable
So if you’re going crazy just grab me and take me
I would follow you down down down, like anywhere anywhere
One for the money, two for the show
I love you honey, and so I’m ready, I’m ready to go
How did you get that way? I don’t know
You’re screwed up, you’re brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
I don’t know,
You’re screwed up, you’re brilliant,
You look like a million dollar man,
So why is my heart broke?
