Feet don't fail me now Come and take a walk on the wild side

Take me to the finish line Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
Oh, my heart, it breaks every step that I take You like your girls insane
But I'm hoping at the gates,
they'll tell me that you're mine So don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Walking through the city streets, Sometimes love is not enough and the road
is it by mistake or design? gets tough
I feel so alone on a Friday night I don't know why
Can you make it feel like home, Keep making me laugh,
if I tell you you're mine? let's go get high
It's like I told you, honey The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road Come and take a walk on the wild side
gets tough Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
I don't know why You like your girls insane
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high So choose your last words,
The road is long, we carry on this is the last time
Try to have fun in the meantime 'Cause you and I,
we were born to die
Come and 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 that once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get,
scared that I couldn't find
All the answers I need

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 and 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

going in
Likes to watch me in the glass room, To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis

Blue jeans, white shirt Then they took you away, stole you out of
Walked into the room you know you made my life
my eyes burn You just need to remember...
It was like James Dean for sure
You're so fresh to death and sick as cancer I will love you 'til the end of time
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on I would wait a million years
hip hop Promise you'll remember that you're mine
But you fit me better than my favourite Baby, can you see through the tears?
sweater and I know Love you more than those bitches before
that love is mean, and love hurts Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll
But I still remember that day we met in remember
December, Oh, baby! I will love you 'til the end of time

I will love you 'til the end of time


I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh, baby, say you'll
remember
I will love you 'til the end of time

Big dreams, gangster


Said you had to leave to start your life
over
I was like - No please, stay here, we don't
need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd
come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipating and
pacing but he was chasing paper
Caught up in the game - that was the last
I heard

I will love you 'til the end of time


I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh, baby, say you'll
remember
I will love you 'til the end of time

You went out every night


And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did
I'd be by your side

'Cause I'mma ride or die


Whether you fail or fly
Well, shit at least you tried
But when you walked out that door a piece
of me died
I told you I wanted more, but that's not
what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancing all night
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you say: get over here
And play a video game

I'm in his favorite sundress


Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say you the bestest


Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you


Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do

Singing in the old bars


Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall In and out of


Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

Let's take Jesus off the dashboard


Got enough on his mind
We both know just what we're here for
Saved too many times

Maybe I like this roller coaster


Maybe it keeps me high
Maybe the speed, it brings me closer
I could sparkle up your eye

Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City

Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive
Remember how we used to party up all night? The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen
Sneaking out, looking for a taste of real Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
life A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty
Drinking in the small town firelight queens
Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice And you know something?
They were the only friends I ever had
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
Walking down the streets as they whistle, I got sent away, I was waving on the train
"Hi, hi" platform
Stealing police cars with the senior guys Crying 'cause I know I'm never coming back
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
This is what makes us girls
There she was, my new best friend We all look for heaven and we put love first
High heels in her hand, swaying in the wind Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
Oh she starts to cry, mascara running down her Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
little Bambi eyes
Lana, how I hate those guys

This is what makes us girls


We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it

This is what makes us girls


We don't stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen

And that's where the beginning of the end


begun
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We were skipping school and drinking on the job
With the boss

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived


Baby's table dancing at the local dive
Cheering our names in the pink spotlight
Drinking cherry schnapps in the velvet night

Yeah, we used to go break into the hotel


Glimmering, we'd swim
Running from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, "Get us while we're hot, get us while
we're hot"

This is what makes us girls


We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put love
first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen
Everything I want I have Hello? Hello?

I been out on that open road I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I
But you can be my full-time daddy, white drive fast
and gold I am alone at midnight
Singing blues has been getting old Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But you can be my full-time baby, hot or but I
cold I've got a war in my mind
So I just ride
Don't break me down, I been traveling just ride
too long
I been trying too hard, with one pretty
song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I


drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
but I
I've got a war in my mind
So I just ride
just ride

Dying young and playing hard


That's the way my father made his life
and art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark

She wore blue velvet Ours a love I held tightly
Bluer than velvet was the night Feeling the rapture grow
Softer than satin was the light Like a flame burning brightly
From the stars But when she left, gone was the glow of

She wore blue velvet Blue velvet


Bluer than velvet were her eyes But in my heart there'll always be
Warmer than May, her tender sighs Precious and warm a memory
Love was ours Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet through
my tears
In the land of gods and monsters No one's gonna take my soul away
I was an angel I'm living like Jim Morrison
living in the garden of evil Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing
I needed Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is Heaven
Shining like a fiery beacon what I truly want
It's innocence lost
You got that medicine I need innocence lost
Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
Me and God, we don't get along, so now I
sing

No one's gonna take my soul away


I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing
Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is Heaven
what I truly want
It's innocence lost
innocence lost

In the land of gods and monsters


I was an angel
looking to get fucked hard
Like a groupie incognito, posing as a real
singer
Life imitates art

You got that medicine I need


Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart
please
I don't really wanna know what's good
for me
God's dead, I said, "Baby, that's alright
with me"

No one's gonna take my soul away


I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing
Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is Heaven
what I truly want
It's innocence lost
innocence lost

When you talk, it's like a movie and you're


making me crazy
'Cause life imitates art
If I get a little prettier, can I be your

My baby lives in shades of blue
Blue eyes and jazz and attitude
He lives in California, too
He drives a Chevy Malibu

And when he calls


he calls for me and not for you
He lives for love
he loves his drugs
he loves his baby too

But I can't fix him, can't make him better


And I can't do nothing about his
strange weather

But you are unfixable


I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

My baby lives in shades of cool


Cold heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many, Bonnie's blue

And when he calls


he calls for me and not for you
He prays for love
he prays for peace
and maybe someone new

But I can't help him, can't make him better


And I can't do nothing about his
strange weather

'Cause you are unfixable


I can't break through your world
'Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

Your hot, hot weather in the summer


High, high, neglectful lover
Hot, hot weather in the summer

To a land that's far away
How are we supposed to get there
With the way that we're living today?

You talk lots about God


Freedom comes from the call
But that's not what this bitch wants
Not what I want at all

I want money, power and glory


I want money and all your power, all your glory
Hallelujah, I wanna take you for all that you got
Hallelujah, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

The sun also rises on those who fail the call


My life, it comprises of
losses and wins and fails and falls

But I can do it if you really, really like that

I'm your favorite girl
Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne, and white sunshine
Red racing cars, Sunset and Vine
The kids were young and pretty

Where have you been? Where did you go?


Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you used to call
The Queen of New York City

But if you send for me, you know I'll come


And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come

The power of youth is on my mind


Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time
Will you still love me when I shine
From words but not from beauty?

My father's love was always strong


My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me

But if you send for me, you know I'll come


And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come

And if you call, I'll run, run, run


If you change your mind
I'll come, come, come

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine


Cashmere, cologne, and hot sunshine
Red racing cars, Sunset and Vine
And we were young and pretty
The other woman has time
to manicure her nails
The other woman is
perfect where her rival fails
And she's never seen with
pin curls in her hair anywhere

The other woman enchants


her clothes with French perfume
The other woman keeps fresh
cut flowers in each room
And there are never toys
that's scattered everywhere

And when her old man comes to call


He finds her waiting like a lonesome queen
'Cause to be by her side
It's such a change from old routine

The other woman will always


cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never
have his love to keep
And as the years go by
the other woman will spend her life alone
Alone

But I lost myself when I lost you


But I still got jazz when I've got those blues
And I lost myself when I lost you
And I still get trashed darling
when I hear your tunes

But you are who you are


I won't change you for anything
For when you are crazy
I'll let you be bad
I'll never dare change thee
To what you are not

But I lost myself when I lost you


But I still got jazz when I've got those blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed baby
when I hear your tunes

I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind


Isn't strange that you're not here with me
I'm putting all the lights on and the television
Trying to transmit, can you hear me?

Ground control to Major Tom


Can you hear me all night long?
Ground control to Major Tom

Well, I lost myself when I lost you


But I still got jazz when I've got the blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed honey
when I hear your tunes
Sometimes, I wake up in the morning
To red, blue, and yellow skies
It's so crazy, I could drink it like
tequila sunrise

Put on that Hotel California


Dance around like I'm insane
I feel free when I see no one
And nobody knows my name

God knows I lived, God knows I died


God knows I begged
Begged, borrowed, and cried
God knows I loved, God knows I lied
God knows I lost, God gave me life
And God knows I tried, God knows I tried,
God knows I tried, God knows I tried

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning


To red, blue, and yellow lights
On Monday they destroy me
But by Friday I'm revived

Put on that Hotel California


Wear my blinders in the rain
I've got nothing much to live for
Ever since I found my fame

God knows I lived, God knows I died


God knows I loved, God knows I lied
God knows I begged
Begged, borrowed, and cried
God knows I lost, God gave me life
And God knows I tried, God knows I tried,
God knows I tried, God knows I tried

So let there be light, Let there be light


Light up my life, light up my life
Let there be light, let there be light
Light up my life, light up my life

And God knows I tried, God knows I tried


God knows I tried, God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried
God knows I tried, God knows I tried
Boy, look at you, looking at me Lights, camera, acción
I know you know how I feel I'll do it on my own
Loving you is hard, being here's harder Don't need your money, money
You take the wheel To get me what I want

I don't wanna do this anymore Lights, camera, acción

All I wanted to do was All I wanted to do was
get high by the beach get high by the beach
Get high, baby, baby, bye bye Get high, baby, baby, bye bye

Boy, look at you, looking at me Anyone can start again


I know you don't understand Not through love, but through revenge
You could be a bad motherfucker Through the fire, we're born again
But that don't make you a man Peace by vengeance, brings the end

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 was
get high by the beach
Get high, baby, baby, bye bye
Flames so hot that they turn blue Screw your anonymity, loving me is
Palms reflecting in your eyes, all you need, to feel like I do
like an endless summer We could slow dance
That's the way I feel for you to rock music, kiss while we do it
If time stood still, I'd take this moment, Talk 'til we both turn blue
make it last forever Baby, if you wanna leave,
come to California
Your halo's full of fire Be a freak like me, too
I'm rising up, rising up
My hot love's full of fire You're cold as ice, baby
Love's full of fire But when you're nice, baby
You're so amazing in every way
Baby, if you wanna leave,
come to California You're cold as ice, baby
Be a freak like me, too I don't wanna fight, baby
It's like I told you
Screw your anonymity If you stay, I'll stay
loving me is all you need
To feel like I do, we could slow dance Baby, if you wanna leave,
to rock music, kiss while we do it come to California
Talk 'til we both turn blue Be a freak like me, too
Baby, if you wanna leave,
come to California Screw your anonymity, loving me is
Be a freak like me, too all you need, to feel like I do

Leather black and eyes of blue We could slow dance


Sun reflecting in your eyes, like an easy rider to rock music, kiss while we do it
Life makes sense when I'm with you Talk 'til we both turn blue
Looking back, my past Baby, if you wanna leave,
It all seems stranger than a stranger come to California
Be a freak like me, too
So let's dance in slow motion
Tear it up, tear it up
Let's dance by the ocean
Ah, ah

Baby, if you wanna leave,


come to California
Be a freak like me, too
Club queen on the downtown scene A little party never hurt no one
Prowling around at night So we stay out late
You're not mean, you're just born to be seen
Born to be wild A little party never hurt no one
That's what your friends say
A little party never hurt no one,
that's why it's alright You put your life out on the line
You want in but you just can't win You're crazy all the time
So you hang in the lights Put your life out on the line
You're crazy all the time
You're so Art Deco, out on the floor
Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure You're so Art Deco, out on the floor
Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them
'Cause you want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?) 'Cause you want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?) You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more
Young thing on the downtown scene
Rolling around at night A little party never hurt no one
Got things that have yet to be seen Not you and me
Like your rapper's delight A little party never hurt no one
We were born to be free
A little party never hurt no one,
that's why it's alright
You want in, but you just can't win
So you stay in the lights

You're so Art Deco, out on the floor


Shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure
Baby, you're so ghetto, you're looking to score
When they all say hello, you try to ignore them

'Cause you want more (Why?)


You want more (Why?)
You want more (Why?)
'Cause you want more
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden
'Cause you're my religion, Everything is fine now
you're how I'm living Let sleeping dogs lay
When all my friends say All our minds made up now
I should take some space All our beds are made
Well, I can't envision that for a minute No one's out of time, no
When I'm down on my knees, Chips fall wherever they may
you're how I pray Leave it all behind
Let the ocean wash away
Hallelujah, I need your love
Hallelujah, I need your love It never was about the money or the drugs
For you, there's only love
For you, there's only love
It never was about the party or the clubs
For you, there's only love

'Cause you're my religion,


you're how I'm living
When all my friends say
I should take some space
Well, I can't envision that for a minute
When I'm down on my knees,
you're how I pray

Hallelujah, I need your love


Hallelujah, I need your love

Everything is bright now


No more cloudy days
Even when the storms come
In thee, I will stay
No need to survive now
All we do is play
All I hear is music
Like Lay Lady Lay

It never was about the money or the drugs


With you, there's only love
With you, there's only love
It never was about the party or the clubs
For you, there's only love
All the lights in Miami begin to gleam Catch me if you can, working on my tan
Ruby, blue and green, neon too Salvatore
Everything looks better from above, my king Dying by the hand of a foreign man happily
Like aquamarine, ocean's blue Calling out my name in the summer rain
Ciao, amore
Ah-ah-ah-ah Salvatore can wait
Cacciatore Now it's time to eat soft ice cream
La-da-da-da-da
Limousines Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah Cacciatore
Ciao, amore La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da Limousines
Soft ice cream Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ciao, amore
All the lights are sparkling for you it seems La-da-da-da-da
On the downtown scenes, shady blue Soft ice creams
Beatboxing and rapping in the summer rain
Like a boss, you sang jazz and blues

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Cacciatore
La-da-da-da-da
Limousines
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ciao, amore
La-da-da-da-da
Soft ice creams

The summer's wild and I've been


waiting for you all this time
I adore you, can't you see
you're meant for me?
The summer's hot but I've
been cold without you
I was so wrong not to doubt
your Medellín, tangerine dreams
Carry me home, got my Ever since my baby went away
blue nail polish on It's been the blackest day
It's my favorite color It's been the blackest day
and my favorite tone of song All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
I don't really wanna break up, It's all that I play
we got it going on
It's what you gathered Because I'm going deeper and deeper
from my talk, but you were wrong Harder and harder
Getting darker and darker
It's not easy for me to talk about Looking for love
I have heavy heartstrings In all the wrong places
I'm not simple, it's trigonometry Oh, my God
It's hard to express In all the wrong places
I can't explain Oh, my God

Ever since my baby went away You should've known better


It's been the blackest day Than to have, to let her
It's been the blackest day Get you under her spell of the weather
All I hear is Billie Holiday I got you where I want you
It's all that I play You're deader than ever
It's all that I play And falling for forever
I'm playing head games with you
Because I'm going deeper and deeper Got you where I want you
Harder and harder I got you, I got you
Getting darker and darker I got you where I want you now
Looking for love
In all the wrong places Ever since my baby went away
Oh, my God It's been the blackest day
In all the wrong places It's been the blackest day
Oh, my God And all I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
Carry me home, got my It's all that I play
new coat and my gun
Wind in my hair, holding your hand, It's not one of those phases I'm going through
listening to our song Or just a song, it's not one of them
I'm on my own
Carry me home, don't wanna talk On my own
about the things to come On my own again
Just put your hands up in the air, I'm on my own again
the radio on I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
'Cause there's nothing for us to talk about I'm on my own again
Like the future and those things
'Cause there's nothing for me to think about
Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing
There's only 24 hours in a day
And half as many ways for you to lie to me, my
little love
There's only 24 hours in a day
And half of those, you lay awake
With thoughts of murder and carnage

If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas


Be careful of the company you keep

There's only 24 hours


And that's not enough
To lie like you lie
Or love like you love

There's only 24 hours in a day


And half of those you lay
Between the sheets with me, my lying love
There's only 24 hours, so you'd say
For most of them you pay
For all the things they paid you for, my love

If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas


Be careful of the ones you choose to leave

There's only 24 hours


And that's not enough
To lie like you lie
Or love like you love

Give me your heat


Give me your diamonds
You hit that street
And my crooked words
You count to three
While they're all dying
You're hard to reach
You're cold to touch
Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Do you like?
Why work so hard when you could just be free? Do you like where you've been and
You got your money now, you got your legacy where you're going to?
Let's leave the world for the
ones who change everything Say goodnight
Say goodnight to the life and
Nothing could stop the world you knew
The two of us I'm gonna follow you
Let's just get lost
That's what we want And I will never sing again
And you won't work another day
And I will never sing again And I will never sing again
And you won't work another day You won't work another day
I will never sing again
With just one wave, it goes away It will be our swan song
It will be our swan song
It will be our swan song Be our swan song
It will be our swan song It will be our swan song
Be our swan song
It will be our swan song Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me
Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me
Dive in, dive deep and dive blue, my sweet Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me
Rushing up from the water where the ice meets Why you work so hard when you could just be
And you've been gone so long, free?
you missed everything
The world can change in a day
if you go away

But nothing could stop


The two of us
If that's what we want
We could just get lost

And I will never sing again


And you won't work another day
I will never sing again
With just one wave, it goes away
It will be our swan song
It will be our swan song
Be our swan song
It will be our swan song
Baby, you understand me now?
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an
angel?
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good


Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree


With a joy that's hard to hide
And then sometimes, again, it seems that all I
have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good


Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
I never meant to take it out on all you
Life has its problems
And I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do

'Cause I love you


Oh baby, I'm just human
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Sometimes I find myself alone, regretting
Some little foolish thing
Some simple thing that I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good


Oh Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
Look at you, kids, with your vintage music And it's enough just to make me
Coming through satellites while cruising go crazy, crazy, crazy
You're part of the past, but now you're the future It's enough just to make me
Signals crossing can get confusing go crazy, crazy, crazy

It's enough just to make you feel I get ready, I get all dressed up
crazy, crazy, crazy To go nowhere in particular
Sometimes it's enough just to It doesn't matter if I'm not enough
make you feel crazy For the future or the things to come
'Cause I'm young and in love
You get ready, you get all dressed up I'm young and in love
To go nowhere in particular Don't worry, baby
Back to work or the coffee shop Don't worry, baby
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
We dance on the H of the Hollywood sign
Climb up the H of the
'Til we run out of breath, gotta dance
Hollywood sign
'til we die
In these stolen moments,
My boyfriend's back and
the world is mine
he's cooler than ever
There's nobody here,
There's no more night, blue skies
just us together
forever
Keeping me hot like
July forever
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
So there's no need for us to hesitate
We're the captains of our own souls
We're all alone, let's take control
There's no way for us to come late
And I was like
'Cause boy, we're gold, boy, we're gold
And I was like
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all of your clothes
Take off, take off, take off
all your clothes
They say only the good die young
Take off, take off, take off
That just ain't right
all your clothes
'Cause we're having too much fun
Take off, take off, take off
Too much fun tonight
all of your clothes

And a lust for life, and a lust for life


They say only the good die young
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
That just ain't right
'Cause we're having too much fun
My boyfriend's back and
Too much fun tonight
he's cooler than ever
There's no more night,
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
blue skies forever
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
I told you twice in
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
our love letter
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
There's no stopping now,
green lights forever
And I was like

Take off, take off, take off all your clothes


Take off, take off, take off all of your clothes

And a lust for life, and a lust for life


Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
I don't belong in the world, that’s what it is But I still get lonely and baby only then
Something separates me from other people Do I let myself recline?
Everywhere I turn there’s something Can I let go? And let your memory dance
blocking my escape In the ballroom of my mind, Across the county line

It took thirteen beaches to find one empty It hurts to love you but I still love you
But finally it's mine with dripping peaches It's just the way I feel and I'd be lying
I'm camera ready almost all the time 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 It hurts to love you but I still love you
But finally I'm fine Past Ventura It's just the way I feel and I'd be lying
And lenses plenty in the white sunshine If I kept hiding the fact that I can't deal
The fact that I can't deal
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
Love, I said real love is like My celluloid scenes
feeling no fear (Can I get a fucking hallelujah?)
When you're standing in the face of danger Are torn at the seams
'Cause you just want it so much (Sipping on ya like a Coca-Cola, yeah)
And I fall to pieces
A touch from your real love Bitch
Is like heaven taking the
place of something evil I fall to pieces when I'm with you
And letting it burn off Why? 'Cause I love you so much
from the rush I fall to pieces
Fuck
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
Darling, darling, darling And all of my peaches are ruined
I fall to pieces when I'm with you Bitch
I fall to pieces Are ruined, Bitch
Are ruined, Fuck
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 ya
And you just stay lined up
Fuck

Darling, darling, darling


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
(Can I get a fucking hallelujah?)
Are ruined
Bitch
(Looking at me like a magazine)

My rose garden dreams


(Can I get a fucking hallelujah?)
Set on fire by fiends
(Sipping on ya like a Coca-Cola)
And all my black beaches
(Can I get a fucking hallelujah?)
Are ruined
(Looking at me like a magazine)
Packing all my things for the summer
Lying on my bed, it's a bummer
'Cause I didn't call when I got your number
But I liked you a lot
Slipping on my dress in soft filters
Everybody said you're a killer
But I couldn't stop the way I was feeling
The day your record dropped

The day I saw your white Mustang


Your white Mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white Mustang

Caught up in my dreams and forgetting


I've been acting like Armageddon 'cause you
Held me in your arms just a little too tight
That's what I thought
Summer's meant for loving and leaving
I was such a fool for believing that you
Could change all the ways you've been living
But you just couldn't stop

The day I saw your white Mustang


Your white Mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white Mustang

You're revving and revving and revving it up


And the sound, it was frightening
And you were getting a part of that
You're gonna hit me like lightning

White Mustang
Your white Mustang
The day I saw your white Mustang
Said, you're a wild mustang

You're gonna hit me like lightning


You're gonna hit me like lightning
It's never too late Take the whip, two pills on the lips on the real
To be who you wanna be Truthfully, between you and me,
To say what you wanna say I'm usually single
When it's hot outside this,
And it's never too late I ride through any
To leave if you wanna leave hood with the top out
Or to stay if you wanna stay Hop out
But, baby
Hip-hop in the summer
I got a feeling in my bones Don't be a bummer, babe
Can't get you out of my veins Be my undercover lover, babe
You can't escape my affection
Wrap you up in my daisy chains High tops in the summer
Don't be a bummer, babe
Hip-hop in the summer Be my undercover lover, babe
Don't be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe White lies and black beaches
Miles in between us
High tops in the summer Is this love or lust or some game on repeat?
Don't be a bummer, babe It's like making me crazy
Be my undercover lover, babe Tell me, "have patience"
Baby, I need this
Uh, her sophistication makes you wanna
quit the bitch you dating White lines and black beaches
Let's skip the games, let's quit the playing White lies and black beaches
Boo, let's get acquainted And blood red sangrias
Notifications sync in place even We traveled for weeks, just to
when we're on vacation escape your demons
I knew she'd notice like I But you've got your reasons
missed the payment, dang it In making me crazy
But bang it like my fingers But you've got your reasons
She pray to God I made it White lights and black beaches
But banking like my Franklins
My neighbors stopped the hating High tops in the summer
What? (What? They been at it, check it out) Don't be a bummer, babe
Huh? (We been out here, yeah) Don't be a bummer
Slide inside it, Diddy Bopping, Milly Rocking Don't be a bummer

She just might become my lover for real Hip-hop in the summer
I might fuck with her all summer for real Don't be a bummer, babe
They better not holla if I cuff her for real Be my undercover lover, babe
Niggas better run for cover for real
Going bell how I feel, close the deal, pop a seal High tops in the summer
Don't be a bummer, babe
Be my undercover lover, babe
Don't be a bummer, babe
You're in the bar, playing guitar
I'm trying not to let the crowd next to me
It's so hard sometimes with a star
When you have to share him with everybody
You're in the club, living it up
I'm trying not to let the crowd notice me
It's so sweet, swinging to the beat
When I know that you're doing it all for me

And every time you look up


I know what you're thinking of
I know what you're thinking of

You want my
Groupie love
Groupie love
Groupie love

Time after time, writing my lines


Having my baby there next to me
It's so sweet, pouring you a drink
And pretending that nothing means anything
This is my life, you by my side
Key lime and perfume and festivals
Taking our dreams, turning them to things
It's like magic, babe, isn't life wonderful?

And every time we hook up


I know what you're thinking of
I know what you're thinking of

You want my
Groupie love
Groupie love
Groupie love
Front row, every show like a hype man
Sing along, word for word, watching my bae
Side stage, fans screaming causing migraines
Yamborghini-high, but she ain't on my grade
God dang, got a nigga acting irate
My babe, my babe, stay on my brain
My babe, made me sing to a fire escape
City girl, but she grew up in the tri-state
She ain't got no time for no groupie love
We don't pay no minds to the thug with a-
Love girls, you and I, so who do we trust?
You and I 'til the day we die

Groupie love
Groupie love
Groupie love
You are my babe
Groupie love
Groupie love
Groupie love
Groupie love
I'm smoking while I'm running on my treadmill 'Cause you got me in my feelings
But I'm coming up roses (Got me feeling so much right now)
Could it be that I fell for another loser? Talking in my sleep again
I'm crying while I'm cumming (I'm making no sense at all)
Making love while I'm making good money Talking while I'm screaming
Sobbing in my cup of coffee (Got me feeling so crazy right now)
'Cause I fell for another loser Who's doper than this bitch? Who's freer than me?
You wanna make the switch? Be my guest, baby
Get that cigarette smoke out of my face I'm feeling all my fucking feelings
You've been wasting my time
While you're taking what's mine Got me up in this place right now
with the things that you're doing Making no sense at all
Talk that talk, well, now they all Got me up in this place right now, against the
know your name wall
And there's no coming back Got me feeling so blue
from the place that you came Making no sense at all
Baby, don't do it Gotta leave right now

'Cause you got me in my feelings 'Cause you got me in my feelings


(Got me feeling so much right now) (Got me feeling so much right now)
Talking in my sleep again Talking in my sleep again
(I'm making no sense at all) (I'm making no sense at all)
Talking while I'm screaming Talking while I'm screaming
(Got me feeling so crazy right now) (Got me feeling so crazy right now)
Who's doper than this bitch? Who's doper than this bitch? Who's freer than me?
Who's freer than me? You wanna make the switch? Be my guest, baby
You wanna make the switch? I'm feeling all my fucking feelings
Be my guest, baby
I'm feeling all my fucking feelings

I'm smoking while I'm running


This town and you better believe it, honey
I'm laughing as I'm taking no prisoners
And taking down names
I'm crying while I'm gunning
In the smoke they can hear me coming
If you were me, and I was you
I'd get out of my way

Get that cigarette smoke out of my face


You've been wasting my time while you're taking what's mine
Well, you know what you're doing
Talk that talk, well, now they all know your name
And there's no coming back from the place that you came
Baby, don't do it
I was at Coachella
Leaning on your shoulder
Watching your husband swing in time
I guess I was in it
'Cause baby, for a minute
It was Woodstock in my mind

In the next morning


They put out the warning
Tensions were rising over country lines
I turned off the music
Tried to sit and use it
All of the love that I saw that night

'Cause what about all these children


And what about all their parents
And what about all their crowns they wear
In hair so long like mine
What about all these children
And what about all their wishes And all their children's children
Wrapped up like garland roses And why am I even wondering that today
Round their little heads Maybe my contribution
I said a prayer for a third time Could be as small as hoping
That words could turn to birds
I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven and birds would send my thoughts your way
I'd take my time for the climb up to
the top of it I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven
I'd trade the fame and the fortune I'd take my time for the climb up
and the legend to the top of it
I'd give it all away if you give me I'd trade the fame and the fortune
just one day to ask Him one question and the legend
I'd give it all away if you give me I'd give it all away if you give me
just one day to ask Him one question just one day to ask Him one question
I'd give it all away if you give me
I was at Coachella just one day to ask Him one question
Leaning on your shoulder
Watching your husband swing and shine A stairway, stairway to heaven
I'd say he was hella, cool to win them over A stairway
Critics can be so mean sometimes Got a million things I wanna say
He was on his knees and I thought Like what is it all for? Will it be okay?
he was breaking 'em down with his words Million things I wanna say
and his voice divine Like what is it all for?
Doesn't take a genius to know Stairway, stairway to heaven
what you've got going Stairway
And to not wanna lose it Stairway, stairway to heaven
'cause they lost their minds Stairway
Take me as I am God bless America
Take me, baby, in stride And all the beautiful women in it
Only you can save me tonight God bless America
There's nowhere to run And all the beautiful women in it
Nowhere to hide May you stand proud and strong
You let me in, don't leave me out Like Lady Liberty shining all night long
Or leave me dry God bless America

Even when I'm alone, I'm not lonely Even with you I've got no one to lose
I hear the sweetest melodies So you'd better believe that nobody
On the fire escapes of the city can make me feel lonely
Sounds like I am free Because I hear (sweetest melodies)
It's got me singing Even when you talk
that talk with the lights on
God bless America I still somehow know
And all the beautiful women in it that I'll never feel, ever feel lonely
God bless America I have no fear
And all the beautiful women in it It's got me thinking
May you stand proud and strong
Like Lady Liberty shining all night long God bless America
God bless America And all the beautiful women in it
God bless America
Take me as I am And all the beautiful people in it
Don't see me for what I'm not May they stand proud and strong
Only you can hear me tonight Like Lady Liberty shining all night long
Keep your light on, babe God bless America
I might be standing outside And all the beautiful people in it
You let me in, don't leave me out
Or leave me dry

Even walking alone, I'm not worried


I feel your arms all around me
In the air on the streets of the city
Feels like I am free
It's got me thinking
Girls, don't forget your pearls
And all of your horses
As you make your way across the pond
Girls, don't forget your curls
And all of your corsets
Memorize them in a little song

Shake it up
Throw your hands up and get loose
Cut a rug
Lean into the fucking youth
Choreo
We just want the fucking truth
(Told by the fake news)

Is it the end of an era?


Is it the end of America?
Is it the end of an era?
Is it the end of America?

No, it's only the beginning


If we hold on to hope
We'll have our happy ending
When the world was at war before
We just kept dancing
When the world was at war before
We just kept dancing

Boys, don't forget your toys


And take all of your money
If you find you're in a foreign land
Boys, don't make too much noise
And don't try to be funny
Other people may not understand

Shake it up
Throw your hands up and get loose
Cut a rug
Lean into the fucking youth
Choreo
We just want the fucking truth
(Told by the fake news)
Is it the end of an era?
Is it the end of America?
Is it the end of an era?
Is it the end of America?

No, it's only the beginning


If we hold on to hope
We'll have our happy ending
When the world was at war before
We just kept dancing
When the world was at war before
We just kept dancing

And we'll do it again


Oh my God, dizzy from loving you
And we'll do it again
Oh my God, dizzy from loving you
We'll do it again
(Did it from, did it from loving you)
We'll do it again
In a world at war

Is it the end of an era?


Is it the end of America?
Is it the end of an era?
Is it the end of America?

When the world was at war before


We just kept dancing
When the world was at war before
We just kept dancing

And we'll do it again


And we'll do it again
Blue is the color of the planet Beautiful people with beautiful problems
from the view above (We're just)
Long live our reign, long live our love Beautiful problems,
Green is the planet God knows we've got them
from the eyes of a turtle dove (Beautiful people)
'Til it runs red, runs red with blood Beautiful people with beautiful problems
(We're just)
We get so tired and we complain Beautiful problems,
'Bout how it's hard to live God knows we've got them
It's more than just a video game So beautiful

But we're just beautiful people


With beautiful problems, yeah
Beautiful problems,
God knows we've got them
But we gotta try
Every day and night

Blue is the collar of the shirt


of the man I love
He's hard at work, hard to
the touch
But warm is the body of the girl
from the land he loves
My heart is soft, my past is rough

But when I love him get a feeling


Something close to like a sugar rush
It runs through me
But is it wasted love?
(It's not wasted love)

But we're just beautiful people


With beautiful problems
Beautiful problems,
God knows we've got them
But we gotta try
Every day and night

Yeah, we've gotta try


We gotta walk through fire
Because we're just
"Hey, what you doing?" Not a lot Hey, what you thinking? Penny for your thoughts
Shaking and moving at my local spot Those lights are blinking on that old jukebox
Baby, don't ask me why, don't ask me why But don't ask me why, just swallow some wine
Wi-wine
Lay, lady, lay on that side of a paradise
In the Tropic of Cancer Stay, baby, stay on the side of a paradise
'Cause if I had my way, you would always stay In the Tropic of Cancer
And I'd be your tiny dancer, honey 'Cause if I had my way, you would always stay
And you'd be my tiny dancer, baby
I waited for you
In the spot you said to wait I waited for you
In the city, on the park bench In the spot you said to wait
In the middle of the pouring rain In the city, on the park bench
In the middle of the pouring rain I could keep waiting for you
'Cause I adored you and I just wanted things In the spot we always wait
to be the same In the city, on the park bench
You said you'd meet me up there tomorrow In the summer, on the pouring rain
But tomorrow never came, Tomorrow never came Honey, don't ignore me
I just wanted it to be the same
Roses out in your country house You said you'd love me like no tomorrow
We played guitar in your barn I guess tomorrow never came, Tomorrow never
And everyday felt like Sunday came
And I, I wish we had stayed home
And I could put on the radio to our favorite
song
Lennon and Yoko, we would play all day long
"Isn't life crazy?", I said now that I'm singing
with Sean
Whoa
Topanga is hot tonight, I put you on the aeroplane
the city by the bay Destined for a foreign land
Has movie stars and liquor I thought that you'd come
stores and soft decay back again
The rumbling from distant To tell me everything's
shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life, It's fucking hot, hot
can sometimes make it hard to dream Winter in the city
Something 'bout this weather
Life rocked me like Mötley made these kids go crazy
Grabbed me by the ribbons in my hair It's hot, even for February
Life rocked me, ultra-softly Something 'bout this sun has
Like the heavy metal that you wear made these kids get scary
Oh, writing in blood on my walls and shit
I'm flying to the moon again Like
Dreaming about heroin Oh, oh my God
How it gave you everything Jumping off from the walls
And took your life away into the docks and shit
I put you on an aeroplane I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it
Destined for a foreign land Lead me baby
I hoped that you'd come Come on
back again
And tell me everything's I'm flying to the moon again
Dreaming about marzipan
Topanga is hot today Taking all my medicine
Manson's in the air To take my thoughts away
And all my friends have gone I'm getting on that aeroplane
'Cause they still feel him here Leaving my old man again
I want to leave I hope that I come back one day
I'll probably stay another year To tell you that I
It's hard to leave when absolutely Really changed
nothing's clear Baby

Life rocked me like Mötley It's hot, hot


Bad beginning to my new year Something 'bout the city
Life rocked me, ultra-softly Don't know what it is
Like the heavy metal that you hear It makes my head get crazy

I'm flying to the moon again Makes me feel like I can change
Dreaming about heroin All of my evil ways and shit
And how it gave you everything I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it
And took your life away
There's something in the wind, There's something in the wind,
I can feel it blowing in I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly on It's coming in softly on
the wings of a bomb the wings of a song
There's something in the water,
There's something in the wind, I can taste it turning sour
I can feel it blowing in It's bitter, I'm coughing,
It's coming in hotly and but now it's in my blood
it's coming in strong
Lately, I've been thinking it's just
Lately, I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
someone else's job to care Who am I to sympathize
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?
when no one gave a damn? I've been thinking it's just
I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
someone else's job to care 'Cause who am I to wanna try? But
Who am I to wanna try? But
Change is a powerful thing,
Change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings
people are powerful beings Trying to find the power in
Trying to find the power me to be faithful
in me to be faithful Change is a powerful thing,
Change is a powerful thing, I feel it coming in me
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time summer's done
Maybe by the time summer's done I'll be able to be honest, capable
I'll be able to be honest, capable Of holding you in my arms without
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
letting you fall When I don't feel beautiful or stable
When I don't feel beautiful Maybe it's enough to just be
or stable where we are, because
Maybe it's enough to just be
where we are, because Every time that we run,
we don't know what it's from
Every time that we run, Now we finally slow down,
we don't know what it's from we feel close to it
Now we finally slow down, There's a change gonna come,
we feel close to it I don't know where or when
There's a change gonna come, But whenever it does,
I don't know where or when we'll be here for it
But whenever it does,
we'll be here for it Yeah, whenever it does,
we'll be here for it
Whenever it does,
we'll be here for it
Finally
I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world
To the reveal of my heart

Undoubtedly
That will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea
And the darkness from the arts

This is my commitment
My modern manifesto
I'm doing it for all of us
Who never got the chance

For... and for...


And all my birds of paradise
Who never got to fly at night
'Cause they were caught up
in the dance

Sometimes it feels like


I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off,
but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that
I had to decide
To play someone's game
or live my own life

And now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (Out of the black)
Into the blue (Into the blue)

Finally
Gone is the burden
Of the Crowley way of being
That comes from energies combined
Like my part was I
Was not discerning
And you, as we found out
Were not in your right mind

There's no more chasing rainbows


And hoping for an end to them
Their arches are illusions
Solid at first glance

But then you try to touch them


There's nothing to hold on to
The colors used to lure you in
And put you in a trance

Sometimes it feels like


I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off,
but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed
that I had to decide
To play someone's game
or live my own life

And now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (Out of the black)
Into the blue (Into the blue)
Out of the black (Out of the black)
Into the blue (Into the blue)
Out of the black (Out of the black)
Into the blue (Into the blue)
Goddamn, man-child
You fucked me so good
that I almost said, "I love you"
You're fun and you're wild
But you don't know the half
of the shit that you put me through

Your poetry's bad and you


blame the news
But I can't change that,
and I can't change your mood

'Cause you're just a man


It's just what you do
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue

Yeah, you're just a man


All through and through
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue
Blue, blue, blue

Goddamn, man-child
You act like a kid even though
you stand six foot two
Self-loathing poet, resident
Laurel Canyon know-it-all

You talk to the walls when the


party gets bored of you
But I don't get bored,
I just see it through
Why wait for the best
when I could have you?
You-oh-oh

'Cause you're just a man


It's just what you do
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue
Yeah, you're just a man
All through and through
Your head in your hands
As you color me blue
Blue, blue

You make me blue


Blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue
You took my sadness out of context
At the Mariners Apartment Complex
I ain't no candle in the wind
I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
Who you are and who you've 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?
Fear fun, fear love You heard my baby's back in town now
Fresh out of fucks forever You should come, come over
Trying to be stronger for you We'll be hanging around now
Ice cream, ice queen You should come, come over
I dream in jeans and leather
Live stream, I'm sweet for you Oh God, I love him on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
Oh God, miss you on my lips Touch me with your fingertips
It's me, your little Venice bitch It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Calling out, bang bang, kiss kiss Back, back in the garden
We're getting high now because we're older
You're in the yard, I light the fire Me myself, I like diamonds
And as the summer fades away My baby, crimson and clover
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work Wha-whatever, Everything, whatever
You're beautiful and I'm insane Wha-whatever, Everything, whatever
We're American-made losers, beautiful losers

Give me Hallmark Back in the garden


One dream, one life, one lover We're getting high now because we're older
Paint me happy in blue Me myself, I like diamonds
Norman Rockwell My baby, crimson and clover
No hype under our covers
It's just me and you Crimson and clover, honey
Over and over, honey
Oh God, miss you on my lips Over and over
It's me, your little Venice bitch If you weren't mine, I'd be
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids Jealous of your love
Calling out, bang bang, kiss kiss

You're in the yard, I light the fire


And as the summer fades away
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work
You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made

Sounding off, bang bang, kiss kiss


Sounding off, bang bang, kiss kiss

Oh God, want you on my lips


It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Sounding off, bang bang, kiss kiss
I like to see everything in neon It turns out California's more
Drink lime green, stay up 'til dawn than just a state of mind
Maybe the way that I'm living is killing me I met you on the boulevard,
I like to light up the stage with a song braids in my hair, you blew my mind
Do shit to keep me turned on And if I wasn't so fucked up,
But one day I woke up like I think I'd fuck you all the time
"Maybe I'll do it differently" (I really do)
It's killing me slowly
So I moved to California,
but it's just a state of mind Fuck it, I love you
It turns out everywhere you go, (I moved to California,
you take yourself, that's not a lie but it's just a state of mind)
Wish that you would hold me Fuck it, I love you
or just say that you were mine (It turns out everywhere you go,
It's killing me slowly you take yourself, that's not a lie)
Fuck it, I love you
Dream a little dream of me (Wish that you would hold me
Make me into something sweet or just say that you were mine)
Turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song I really do (It's killing me slowly)
Fuck it, I love you
I really do (Fuck it, I love you)
California dreaming,
I used to shoot up my veins in neon got my money on my mind
And shit's even brighter; you're gone (Fuck it, I love you)
So many things I would say to you Jazz in my veins,
I want you running out of time
(Fuck it, I love you)
You moved to California, California dreaming,
but it's just a state of mind got my money on my mind
And you know everyone adores you (I really do)
You can't feel it and you're tired Jazz in my veins, running out of time
Baby, wish that you would hold me
or just say that you were mine
But it's killing me slowly

Dream a little dream of me


Turn this into something sweet
Turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song
Fuck it, I love you
I really do

So spill my clothes on
the floor of your new car
Is it safe, is it safe to

Oh, be my once in a lifetime


Lying on your chest in my party dress
I'm a fucking mess, but I
Cinnamon in my teeth
From your kiss, you're touching me
All the pills that you take
Violet, blue, green, red to keep me at arm's length don't work
You try to push me out, but I just find my way back in
Violet, blue, green, red to keep me out, I win

There's things I wanna say to you, but I'll just let you live
Like if you hold me without hurting me
You'll be the first who ever did
There's things I wanna talk about, but better not to give
But if you hold me without hurting me
You'll be the first who ever did

Hold me, love me, touch me, honey, be the first who ever did
Hold me, love me, touch me, honey, be the first who ever did

Kerosene in my hands

at arm's length don't work

There's things I wanna say to you,


but I'll just let you live

You'll be the first who ever did

but better not to give
Like if you hold me without hurting me
You'll be the first who ever did
John met me down on the boulevard
Cry on his shoulder 'cause life is hard
The waves came in over my head
What you been up to, my baby?
Haven't seen you 'round here lately
All of the guys tell me lies, but you don't
You just crack another beer
And pretend that you're still here

This is how to disappear


This is how to disappear

Joe met me down at the training yard


Cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard
I know he's in over his head
But I love that man like nobody can
He moves mountains and pounds them to ground
again
I watched the guys getting high as they fight
For the things that they hold dear
To forget the things they fear

This is how to disappear


This is how to disappear

Now it's been years since I left New York


I've got a kid and two cats in the yard
The California sun and the movie stars
I watch the skies getting light as I write
As I think about those years
As I whisper in your ear

I'm always going to be right here


No one's going anywhere
You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are We'll do whatever you want,
When you're lying in my arms, baby travel wherever how far
You don't ever have to go faster than your fastest pace We'll hit up all the old places
Or faster than my fastest cars We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues
I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter and all of your Rolling Stones
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing I'll throw a party all night long
I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better You don't ever have to be
I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing stronger than you really are
(Two, three, four) When you're lying in my arms,
and, honey, You don't ever have
Oh, I'll pick you up to act cooler than you think you should
If you come back to America, just hit me up You're brighter than the brightest stars
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up You're scared to win, scared to lose
I've heard the war was over if you really choose Oh, I'll pick you up
The one in and around you If you come back to America, just hit me up
You hate the heat, you got the blues 'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the
Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like flip side
you If you come back to California, you should just
The Santa Ana moves you hit me up
(Two, three, four)

Oh, I'll pick you up


If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the
flip side
If you come back to California, you should just
hit me up
We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how

We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your
Rolling Stones
Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a party all night long
My baby used to dance underneath My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
my architecture We lost track of space, we lost track of time
To the Houses of the Holy,
smoking on them cigarettes And we were so obsessed with writing
My baby used to dance underneath the next best American record, that we gave all we had
my architecture 'til the time we got to bed
He was cool as heck 'Cause we knew we could
We were so obsessed with writing the next best
And we were so obsessed with writing American record
the next best American record 'Cause we were just that good, It was just that good
That we gave all we had Whatever's on tonight, I just wanna party with you
'til the time we got to bed Topanga's hot tonight, I'm taking off my bathing suit
'Cause we knew we could You make me feel like there’s something that I never
We were so obsessed with writing knew I wanted
the next best American record We play the Eagles down in Malibu and I want it
'Cause we were just that good,
It was just that good It's you, all the roads lead to you
Whatever's on tonight, Everything I want and do, all the things that I say
I just wanna party with you It's true, all the roads lead to you
Topanga's hot tonight, Like the 405 I drive through every night and every day
I'm taking off my bathing suit I see you for who you really are
You make me feel like there’s something Why the thousands of girls love the way Bill plays guitar
that I never knew I wanted Whatever's on tonight, I just wanna party with you
Topanga's hot tonight, I'm taking off my bathing suit
My baby used to dance underneath You make me feel like there’s something that I never
my architecture knew I wanted, we play the Eagles down in
He was '70s in spirit, Malibu and I want it, there’s something that I never
'90s in his frame of mind knew I wanted
I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe I'm wasted
I miss dancing with you the most of all Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go I'm facing the greatest
Dennis' last stop before Kokomo The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
Those nights were on fire I guess that I'm burned out after all
We couldn't get higher
We didn't know that we had it all If this is it, I'm signing off
But nobody warns you before the fall Miss doing nothing the most of all
Hawaii just missed that fireball
And I'm wasted L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call Kanye West is blond and gone
I'm facing the greatest "Life on Mars?" ain't just a song
The greatest loss of them all I hope the live stream's almost on
The culture is lit and I 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
When, 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
All the ladies of the canyon
Wearing black to their house parties
Crosby, Stills and Nash is playing
Wine is flowing with Bacardi

But sometimes, girls just want to have fun


The poetry inside of me is warm like a gun

I bought me a truck in the middle of the night


It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
Photo-free exits from baby's bedside
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I'm just tryna keep my love alive
With my bartender, hold me all night
Bartender, our love's alive
Baby, remember, I'm not drinking wine
But that Cherry Coke you serve is fine
And our love's sweet enough on the vine
Bartender, bar-t-t-tender

All the ladies of the canyon


Wearing white for their tea parties
Playing games of levitation
Meditating in the garden

And I love the little games that we play


From the valley to the beach
And when at last the day is done, I grab my keys

I bought me a truck in the middle of the night


It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
Photo-free exits from baby's bedside
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I'm just tryna keep my love alive
With my bartender, hold me all night
Bartender, our love's alive
Baby, remember, I'm not drinking wine
But that Cherry Coke you serve is fine
And our love's sweet enough on the vine
Bar-t-t-tender, bar-t-t-tender, bar-t-t-tender
Ha, ha, ha, ha

I bought me a truck in the middle of the night


60 MPH on PCH drive
Here to Long Beach to Newport by your side
As they don't yet know where I reside
60 miles from the last place I hide
With my bar-t-t-tender, hold me all night
Bar-t-t-tender, keep love alive
Bar-t-t-tender
Do you want me or do you not? I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the
Dropped a pin to my parking spot backseat, ooh
The bar was hot, it's 2 AM, it feels like summer I just wanna dance with you
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
Happiness is a butterfly I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue
Try to catch it, like, every night I just wanna dance with you
It escapes from my hands into moonlight I just wanna dance with you
Every day is a lullaby
Hum it on the phone, like, every night Baby, I just wanna dance (Dance)
Sing it for my babies on the tour life, ah With you (Dance)
Baby, I just wanna dance (Dance)
If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst With you
That can happen to a girl who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt
If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt
He's already hurt

I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"


Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat, ooh
I just wanna dance with you
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you

Baby, I just wanna dance (Dance)


With you (Dance)
Baby, I just wanna dance (Dance)
With you

Left the canyon, drove to the club


I was one thing, now I'm being another
Laurel down to Sunset in the truck
I'll pick you up if you're in town on the corner, ah

Happiness is a butterfly
We should catch it while dancing
I lose myself in the music, baby
Every day is a lullaby
Try to catch it like lightning
I sing it into my music, I'm crazy

If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst


That can happen to a girl who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt
If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt
He's already hurt
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
They 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
But I have it, Yeah, I have it, Yeah, I have it, I have
Sun stare, don't care with my head in my hands
Thinking of a simpler time
Like Sun Ra, feel small
But I had it under control every time

When I was a waitress wearing a white dress


Look how I do this, look how I got this
I was a waitress working the night shift
You were my man, felt like I got this
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
And I felt seen
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Summer, sizzling
Listening to jazz out on the lawn
Listening to White Stripes when they were white-hot
Listening to rock all day long

When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress handling the heat


I wasn't famous, just listening to Kings of Leon to the beat
Like look at how I got this, look how I got this
Just singing the street
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I felt free 'cause I was only nineteen
Such a scene

Summer, summer's almost gone


We were talking about life, we were sitting
outside 'til dawn
But I would still go back
If I could do it all again, I thought
Because it made me feel, made me feel like a god
'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god
Somehow it made me feel, made me feel like a god

When I was a waitress wearing a white dress


Look how I do this, look how I got this
When I was a waitress working the night shift
You were my man, felt like I got this
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference
I only mention it 'cause it was such a scene
And I felt seen
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
When I was a waitress wearing a tight dress
Like, look how I do it, look how I got this
I was a waitress wearing a tight dress
Like, look how I do this, look how I got this

It made me feel, made me feel like a god


It kinda makes me feel, like maybe I was better
off
'Cause it made me feel, made me feel like a god
It kinda makes me feel, like maybe I was better
off
I'm on the run with you, my sweet love I'm not unhinged or unhappy, I'm just wild
There's nothing wrong contemplating God I'm on the run with you, my sweet love
Under the chemtrails over the country club There's nothing wrong contemplating God
We're in our jewels in the swimming pool Under the chemtrails over the country club
Me and my sister just playing it cool We're in our jewels in the swimming pool
Under the chemtrails over the country club Me and my sister just playing it cool
Under the chemtrails over the country club
Take out your turquoise and all of your jewels
Go to the market, the kids' swimming pools Meet you for coffee at the elementary schools
Baby, what's your sign? We laugh about nothing as the summer gets cool
My moon's in Leo, my Cancer is sun It's beautiful how this deep normality settles
You won't play, you're no fun down over me
Well, I don't care what they think I'm not bored or unhappy, I'm still so strange
Drag racing my little red sports car and wild
I'm in the wind, I'm in the water Under the chemtrails, over the country club,
Nobody's son, nobody's daughter yeah (You're born in December and I'm born in
Watching the chemtrails over the country club June)
Suburbia, The Brentwood Market
What to do next? Baby, what of it? My Cancer is sun and my Leo is moon
White picket chemtrails over the country club My Cancer is sun and my Leo is moon

My love, my love

Washing my hair, doing the laundry


Late night TV, I want you only
Like when we were kids under chemtrails and
country clubs
It's never too late, baby, so don't give up
It's never too late, baby, so don't give up
Under the chemtrails over the country club,
yeah (You're born in December and I'm born in
June)
You should stay real close to Jesus You should stay real close to Jesus
Keep that bottle at your hand, my man If you don't pray, you'll never learn
Find your way back to my bed again Keep that bottle at your hand, my man
Sing me like a Bible hymn You know what I'm saying?
We should go back to Arkansas Find your way back to my bed again
Trade this body for the can of gin Sing me like a Bible hymn
Like a little piece of heaven We should go back to Arkansas
No more candle in the wind I like living here
Trade this body for the can of gin
You should come back to our place, baby Like a little piece of heaven
Don't be afraid of our love No more candle in the wind
On the second floor, darling
In a second flat, hurry up
'Cause down in Arkansas the stores are all closed
The kids in their hoodies, they dance super slow
We're white-hot forever and only God knows

You should stay real close to Jesus


Keep that bottle at your hand, my man
Find your way back to my bed again
Sing me like a Bible hymn
We should go back to Arkansas
Trade this body for the can of gin
Like a little piece of heaven
No more candle in the wind

We'll be white-hot forever


White-hot forever
White-hot forever
And ever and ever, amen

Could I come back to the ranch, baby?


I had to get away for a while
Just to rest my nerves, darling
Can I make you laugh with a smile?
You knew when you chose me
I was nothing but ordinary
And now the wind's blowing, reminding you of what you know

You should stay real close to Jesus


Keep that bottle at your hand, my man
Find your way back to my bed again
Sing me like a Bible hymn
We should go back to Arkansas
Trade this body for that can of gin
Like a little piece of heaven
No more candle in the wind

We'll be white-hot forever


White-hot forever
White-hot forever
And ever and ever, the end
White-hot forever
White-hot forever
White-hot forever
And ever and ever, amen
I come from a small town, how 'bout you?
I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave LA
And I want you to come
Eighty miles north or south will do
I don't care where as long as you're with me
And I'm with you and you let me

Let me love you like a woman


Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in poems and songs
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman
Let me hold you like a baby
Let me hold you like a baby

I come from a small town far away


I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave LA
And I want you to come (And I need you to come)
I guess I could manage if you stay
It's just if you do, I can't see myself having any
fun, so

Let me love you like a woman


Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in songs and poems
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman

Take you to infinity


Let me love you like a woman (Let me hold you
like a baby)
Take you to infinity
Let me love you like a woman (Let me hold you
like a baby)
Take you to infinity

We could get lost in the purple rain


Talk about the good ol' days
We could get high on some pink champagne
Baby, let me count the ways

Let me love you like a woman


Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in songs and poems
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman
What would you do if I wouldn't sing
for them no more?
Like if you heard I was out in the bars
drinking Jack and Coke

What would you do if I told you Going crazy for anyone who would listen to my
You made me crazy stories, babe
To see your pretty pics on Sunset Boulevard? Time after time, I think about leaving
And it makes me lazy But you know that I never do just 'cause you
So I smoke cigarettes keep me believing
Just to understand the smog
I love you lots, despite the odds
I love you lots like polka dots You're killing me, John
You're killing me more And all these thoughts brought us apart
Than coffee pots and Insta' thots And that's okay, too
With every drop I pour 'Cause even in the worst of times
And if I had to do it all again You saw the best of me
I would because, babe, in the end And that's why I stay here with you
It brought me here to you
I left Calabasas, escaped all the ashes, ran into
I left Calabasas, escaped all the ashes, the dark
ran into the dark And it made me wild, wild, wild at heart
And it made me wild, wild, wild at heart The cameras have flashes, they cause the car
The cameras have flashes, they cause the car crashes crashes
But I'm not a star But I'm not a star
If you love me, you'll love me If you love me, you'll love me
'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart 'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart
If they love me, they'll love me If you love me, you'll love me
'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart 'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart
"It's dark, but just a game" We keep changing all the time
That's what he would say to me The best ones lost their minds
The faces aren't the same, So I'm not gonna change
but their stories all end tragically I'll stay the same
(Sweet or whatever, baby) No rose left on the vines
And that's the price of fame Don't even want what's mine
A tale as old as time you'd be Much less the fame
(Sweet or whatever, baby) It's dark, but just a game
A pretty little fool to think We keep changing all the time
exceptions to the rule The best ones lost their minds
Just walk around like you and me, So I'm not gonna change
this way I'll stay the same
But life is sweet or whatever, baby No rose left on the vines
You gotta take them for what they got Don't even want what's mine
And while the whole world is crazy Much less the fame
We're getting high in the parking lot It's dark, but just a game
It's dark, but just a game
We keep changing all the time It's dark, but just—
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same
No rose left on the vines
Don't even want what's mine
Much less the fame
It's dark, but just a game
It's dark, but just a game

It's dark, but just a game


So play it like a symphony
You know our love's the same, they'll both go down in infamy
I was a pretty little thing and God, I loved to sing
But nothing came from either one but pain (But fuck it)
Life is sweet or whatever, baby
Don't ever think it's not
While the whole world is crazy
We're making out in the parking lot
I've been wearing the same damn clothes
for three damn days
Lincoln, Nebraska's got me in a haze
The thing about men like you is you got a lot to say
But will you stay?

You say you got my name on your tattoo


Opening up doors, pulling out chairs,
look at you
You talk to God like I do,
I think you know
The same secrets that I do,
I'm talking 'bout

Not all those who wander are lost


Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander,
all those who wander
All those who wander are lost
It's just wanderlust

The thing about being on the road


Is there's too much time to think
About seasons of old
As you pour yourself a drink
'Cause every time I said no
It wasn't quite what I meant
If you know what I mean

You said you got my name as your tattoo


Pulling out chairs, opening doors,
look at you
You talk to people like I do,
I think you know
The same things that I do

Not all those who wander are lost


Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander, all those who wander
All those who wander are lost
It's just wanderlust

Look at me, look at you


Look at what you made me do
Look at me, look at you
Bible on your tattoo
Look at me, look at you
Look at what you made me do
Look at me, look at you

Not all those who wander are lost


Not all those who wander are lost
Not all those who wander, all those who wander
All those who wander are lost
It's just wanderlust
We've done it for fun,
Seasons may change
we've done it for free
But we won't change
I showed up for you,
Isn't it sweet how we know
you showed up for me
that already?
We did it for the right reasons
Winter to spring
We did it for fun, we did it for free
Spring back to fall
Isn't it cool how nothing
When I was young 'til eternity
here changes at all?
I'll do it for the right reasons
Withstanding all the time,
You make me feel I'm invincible
changes, and seasons
Just like I wanted
Right reasons
No more candle in the wind
It's not like I'm invisible
Not like before when I was
burning at both ends

We did it for fun, we did it for free


I did it for you, you did it for me
We did it for the right reasons
We did it for the right reasons

Seasons may change


But we won't change
Isn't it strange how different
we are from all of our friends?
Seasons will turn
The world, it will turn
The only thing we'll turn is the
pages of all of the poems we burned

Honey, you made me feel I'm


invincible
It's just like I wanted
No more candle in the wind
It's not like I'm invisible
Like I was before, no more
burning at both ends

Now I do it for fun, I do it for free


I do it for you, you did it for me
We did it for the right reasons
We did it for the right reasons

I remember watching How


Green Was My Valley
Then I was thinking
"How deep was the canyon
that you came from?"
Television static was quite
overwhelming
Was it because of the cabin and
the candles in the wind?
Breaking up slowly
is a hard thing to do
I love you only,
but it's making me blue
So don't send me flowers
like you always do
It's hard to be lonely,
but it's the right thing

Are these my good years or do I have none?


Are there really good years for everyone?
I don't wanna live with a life of regret
I don't wanna end up like Tammy Wynette

'Cause breaking up slowly


is a hard thing to do
I love you only,
but it's making me blue
So don't send me flowers
like you always do
It's hard to be lonely,
but it's the right thing to do

George got arrested out on the lawn


We might be breaking up after this song
Will he still love me long after I'm gone?
Or did he see it coming all along?

'Cause breaking up slowly


is a hard thing to do
I love you only,
and it's making me blue
So don't send me flowers
like you always do
It's hard to be lonely, baby,
breaking up is hard to do

Breaking up slowly, baby,


breaking up is hard to do
Breaking up slowly
is a hard thing to do
I love you only,
and it's making me blue
So don't send me flowers
like you always do
It's hard to be lonely,
but it's the right thing to do
I'm covering Joni and I'm dancing with Joan
Stevie is calling on the telephone
Court almost burned down my home
But God, it feels good not to be alone

But sometimes, this ranch feels like my only friend


And life doesn't always work out like we planned
We keep it moving, babe

So we made it back in the middle of the night


To the Louisiana two-step, high and bright
And we won't say when, we won't ask why
We won't stop dancing 'til we die
We'll keep walking on the sunny side
And we won't stop dancing 'til we die

Troubled by my circumstance
Burdened by the weight of fame
Clementine's not just a fruit
It's my daughter's chosen name

And when all the bars close down tonight


There's one that stays open just for us, alright
We keep dancing, babe
So we made it back in the middle of the night (We keep dancing, babe)
To the Louisiana two-step, high and bright (We keep it moving, babe)
And we won't say when, we won't ask why
We won't stop dancing 'til we die
We'll keep walking on the sunny side
And we won't stop dancing 'til we die

I went down to Woodside


I left Berkeley, out of city, out of mind
Killing it, talking shit, Joan said she was gonna quit
Tearing it up at the Afro-Caribbean two-step
I left San Francisco
I've been covering Joni and I'm dancing with Joan
It's kinda hard to find love
When you're used to rolling like a rolling stone

So we made it back in the middle of the night (We keep it moving, babe)
To the Louisiana two-step, high and bright (We keep dancing, babe)
And we won't say when, we won't ask why
We won't stop dancing 'til we die
We'll keep walking on the sunny side
And we won't stop dancing 'til we die
And we won't stop dancing 'til we die
I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out from their school
I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street, he stood
And he played real good
On his clarinet for free

Now me, I play for fortunes


And those velvet curtain calls
I've got a black Limousine and two gentlemen
Who escort me through these halls
And I'll play if you've got the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one-man band by the quick lunch stand
He's been playing real good for free
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on the TV
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
He was playing real good for free
I guess you could call it textbook
I was lookin' for the father I wanted back
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily have my back

And then there was the issue of her


I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
And there you were with shining stars
Standin' blue with open arms
You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had

You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too


Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
God, I wish I was with my father
He could see us in all our splendor
All the things I couldn't want for him
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
I screamed for them, ah-ah

Could we do this dance again?


Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
I guess this is really the end
I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now

People say we're too much alike


But maybe, finally, that'll make it right
In the end of all these sleepless nights
Other men I met felt right
Would smile at you and stick a knife
In your back
Finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why

You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too


Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
There we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd
By the Old Man River, and I saw you saw who I am
God, I wish I was with my father
He could see us in all our splendor
All the things I couldn't want for him
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
I screamed for them, ah-ah

Old Man River keeps rollin'


With or without him
Old Man River keeps rollin'
Without him, oh, my old man
Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
There's a picture on the wall
Of me on a John Deere
Jenny handed me a beer
Said, "How the hell did you get there?"
Oh, Oklahoma
Mm-mm, mm

There were flowers that were dry


Sittin' on the dresser
She asked me where they're from
I said, "A place I don't remember"
Oh, Oklahoma (Oh-oh)

Jenny jumped into the pool


She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
She said, "Most men don't want a woman
With a legacy, it's of age"
She said "You can't be a muse and be happy, too
You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry
And be happy"
And that scared me
'Cause I met a man who

Said he'd come back every May


Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
Blue banisters, ooh
Said he'd fix my weathervane
Give me children, take away my pain
And paint my banisters blue
My banisters blue

There's a hole that's in my heart


All my women try and heal
They're doin' a good job
Convincin' me that it's not real
It's heat lightning, oh-oh-oh, oh

'Cause there's a man that's in my past


There's a man that's still right here
He's real enough to touch
In my darkest nights, he's shinin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Jenny was smokin' by the pool


We were writin' with Nikki Lane
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
I wish that it would rain
I said the power of us three can bring absolutely anything
Except that one thing
The diamonds, the rust, and the rain
The thing that washes away the pain
But that's okay, 'cause
Now when weather turns to May
All my sisters come to paint my banisters green
My blue banisters grey
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
Chickens runnin', bare feet, there's a baby on
the way
And now my blue banisters are green and grey,
ah-ah

Summer comes, winter goes


Spring, I skip, God knows
Summer comes, winter goes
Spring, I sleep, Heaven knows
Every time it turns to May
All my sisters fly to me
To paint, paint
My body is a map of LA I can't sleep at home tonight,
I stand straight like an angel, send me a Hilton Hotel
with a halo Or a cross on the hill,
Hangin' out the I'm a lost little girl
Hilton Hotel window Findin' my way to ya
Screamin', "Heyo, baby, let's go" Arcadia
My chest, the Sierra Madre
My hips, every high and byway My body is a map of L.A
That you trace with your And my heart is like paper, I hate ya
fingertips like a Toyota I'm not from the land of the palms, so I know I

(Oh, let 'em talk about me)
They're just yesterday's news
(They're fucking broke and we're laughin' about
them)
Mail me when you get the blues
(We'll have the last laugh about it)
By the way, thanks for the shoes (Haha)
Your interest really made stacks
Your interest really made stacks
Your interest really made stacks out of it
Your interest really made stacks out of it for
me
Put your red boots on, baby, giddy up
Baby wants a dance, baby gets her way
Dreamy nights, talk to me with that whiskey
breath
Twirl me twice, I'll treat you like a holiday

And don't say you're over me


When we both know that you ain't
Don't say you're over me
Babe, it's already too late
Just do what you do best with me

Dance me all around the room


Spin me like a ballerina, super high
Dance me all around the moon
Light me up like the Fourth of July
Once, twice, three times the guy I
Ever thought I would meet, so
Don't say you're over me
When we both know that you lie

If you lie down, lie next to me


Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
If you lie down, lie next to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
When you lie down, lie next to me

Get your jacket on, be a gentleman


Get into your truck and pick me up at eight
'Cause we were built for the long haul freight
train
Burnt by fire without trial like a stowaway

And don't say you're over me


When they all know that you ain't
If you lay down, lie next to me

Dance me all around the room


Spin me like a ballerina, super high
Dance me all around the moon
Like six times 'till I'm sick and I cry
Once, twice, three times the guy I
Ever thought I would meet, so
Don't say you're over me
When they all know that you're lying

If you lie down, lie next to me


Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You lie, you lie
If you lie down, lie next to me
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You lie, you lie
When you lie down, lie next to me
Lets keep it simple, babe
Don't make me complicated
Don't tell me to be glad when I'm sad
I really hate that
I try not to be bad
He's interested, he's holding me back
If I could be more like you, I would
But I can't, and I'm glad about that

What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?


Never known who he was or the man he'd become
There would be no blue period
Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into
happiness
I can turn blue into something

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you

Let's keep it simple, babe


We can't afford to change it
Don't turn me into somethin' I'm not
There's no way to sustain it
I try not to hold back
It seems either way it makes you mad
So I'll be who I'll be if you think that that's
cool
Then I'll take you back

What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?


Never known who he was or the man he'd become
There would be no blue period
Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into
happiness
I can turn blue into something

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful like you
There's something in the air
The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley
And the bookstore doors are opening
And it's finally happening

Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with me
And, boy, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the city
Like the Paramount sign sparkling
Sparkling just for me

You made me trade my violets for roses


You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses
Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate
A simple life, I chose this
You made me trade my violets for roses
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
Is tryna make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

There's something in the air


I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real
The beginning of something big happening
And by the murder alleys
In the streets have ceased
And still the shadows haunt the avenue
The silence is deafening

Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the streets
And, God, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
Ever since I fell out of love with you I breakdance to the backbeat
And, God, does it sound sweet
Like it's playing just for me

You made me trade my violets for roses


You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses
Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate
A simple life, I chose this
You made me trade my violets for roses
You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and
God knows the only mistake that a man can make
Is tryin' to make a woman change and trade her violets for roses

There's something in the air


The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses
With their masks off and it makes me so happy
Please don't try to find me through my dealer
He won't pick up his phone
Please don't try my father either
He ain't been home for years
I know I'm no spirit seeker
I can't sleep through the tears
I get lost in the ether

I check it, I wreck it, I turn it around


I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna give you nothing
'Cause you never give me nothing back
Why can't you be good for something?
Not one shirt off your back
Why can't you be good for something?
Not one shirt off your back

Please don't try to find me through my dealer


He won't pick up his phone
Please don't try my doctor either
He won't take any calls
He's no fucking spirit healer
He just can't stop to talk
But he's gone now for the weekend

I check it, I wreck it, and I'll explain


I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna give you nothing
'Cause you never give me nothing back
Why can't you be good for something?
Not one shirt off your back
Why can't you be good for something?
Not one shirt off your back

555
Please don't try to find me through my dealer
9275, 555
Now you've got a busy tone
He won't pick up his phone
All circuits are busy, goodbye
All circuits are busy, you're high
Please don't try my father either
All circuits are busy, goodbye
All circuits are busy, you're high
He ain't been home for years
You roll like thunder
When you come crashin' in
Town ain't been the same
Since you left with all your friends
You roll like thunder
When you come crashing in
Regattas in the wind
That's why you're visiting

You act like fucking Mr. Brightside when you're with all your friends
But I know what you're like
When the party ends

Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait

You roll like thunder


Pourin' all your drinks
The party's lit and you, my friend, half-cut when it begins
You roll like thunder
You're tryna catch that wind
That lightning in the bottle
That moonbeam in your hand

And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins
But you're not satisfied
At the rainbow's end

Just do it
Just do it, don't wait
I don't wanna wait
Just do it
Just do it, don't wait

'Cause if you're on fire, you're on fire (Just do it)


Just keep burnin', 'til rain (Just do it, don't wait)
Baby, keep me ablaze
Honey, if you're on fire, you're on fire (Just do it)
Just keep burning, keep me alive (Just do it, don't wait)
Spare your blade

Just do it, Just do it, don't wait


If hello just means goodbye then honey, better walk away
Just do it, Just do it, don't wait
If hello just means goodbye then baby, better walk away
Just do it, Just do it, don't wait
'Cause I don't wanna wait
Just do it, Just do it, don't wait

If you're on fire, you're on fire


You should just keep burning
Here's the deal
'Cause I know you wanna talk about it
Here's the deal
I promise you, like, a million tomorrows
Here's the deal
What I can promise is I'll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
And I'll always make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily

Baby, I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust


Alone for so long
I wouldn't know what hot fire was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee
I'm better with you
It's strange, but it's true, darling

Not to turn into a wildfire


To light up your night
With only my smile and nothing that burns
Baby, I'll be like a wildflower
I live on sheer willpower
I'll do my best never to turn into something
That burns, burns, burns
Like the others, baby, burns, burns, burns

Here's the deal


'Cause I know you wanna talk about it
Here's the deal
You say there's gaps to fill in, so here
Here's the deal
My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet
Later then hospitals, and still on my feet
Comfortably numb, but with lithium came poetry

And baby, I, I've been running on star drip


IV's for so long
I wouldn't know how cruel the world was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better
So I turn, but I learn (It from you, babe)

Not to turn into a wildfire


To light up your night
With only my smile and nothing that hurts
Baby, I run like a wildflower
I live on sheer willpower
I promise that nothing will burn you
Nothing will burn, burn, burn
Like the others, baby, burns, burns, burns
Burn, burn, burn (Like the others, baby)
Like the others, baby, burns, burns, burns

It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn


It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn
What cruel world is this? Nectar of the Gods
Heroin gold in my veins, and you in my thoughts
I'm on the freeway racing at a million and I just
can't stop
I call you up twice, hang up the phone, call
again, I wanna talk

I get wild on you, baby


I get wild and fuckin' crazy like you never
knew, knew, knew
I get wild on you, baby
I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue,
ooh-ooh

What sweet world is this? Honey on the vine


School kid dreams came true then passed in the
night
I used to dream about people like you, now I
don't know why
I used to sing about people like you, now I just
get high

I get wild on you, baby


I get wild and fuckin' crazy like you never
knew, knew, knew
I get wild on you, baby
I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue,
ooh-ooh

I get wild on you, baby


I get wild and fuckin' crazy like you never
knew, ooh, ooh
I get wild on you, baby
I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue,
ooh-ooh

Californ-I-A, homeland of the Gods


Once I found my way but now I am lost
Blackbirds will sing in the same key
As you play in the shoes that I bought you
And sweet baby Jane don't know a thing
About my songs but she knows I'm a monsoon

And baby you, all the things you do


And the ways you move, send me straight to
heaven
And baby you, what you never knew
What I never said, is you're my living legend

Hipsters will sing just like a dream


In Sin-é or the back Brooklyn bayou
But you never cared about my name
And darling I never meant to defy you

But baby you, all them things you do


And those ways you moved, send me straight to
heaven
And baby you, I never said to you
You really are my living legend

I got guns in the summertime and horses too


Guns in the summertime and horses too
I never meant to be bad or unwell
I was just living on the edge
Right between Heaven and Hell
And I'm tired of it

Oh, all the things you do


And the ways you move, send me straight to
heaven
And baby you, what I never said to you
'Cause you really are my living legend

My living legend
My living legend
My living legend
My living legend
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me I push you high, cherry blossom on your
Little ghost, tall, tan like milk and honey sycamore tree
You're very brave What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
And very free
And when you're scared
I push you high, cherry blossom on your I'll be right here
sycamore tree You feel afraid
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me Mommy is there
It's a cruel, cruel world
Swing it high like Jesus, wild and free But we don't care
Dandelions in your hair, baby 'Cause what we've got
You're very brave We've got to share
And there's much to see
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost, blonde hair with lemonade tea
There's much to learn
And so much to see

I push you high, Angelina, on your sycamore


tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Don't have to write me a letter
'Cause I'll always be right here
Closer to you than your next breath, my dear

We love every hair on your head


Love you like God loves you
And you say that you're scared
Might be unprepared for havin' the baby blues

Baby blues, baby blues


If things ever go wrong
Just know this is your song and we love you

You name your babe Lilac Heaven


After your iPhone 11
"Crypto forever" screams your stupid boyfriend
Fuck you, Kevin

We love every freckle you have


We love you like God loves you
If you're ever stressed out, just dance in the
night
If you get those baby blues

Baby blues, baby blues


If things ever go wrong
Just know this is your song and we love you
Pink slippers all on the floor and woven nets
over the door
It's as close as we'll get to the dream that they
had
In the one night sixties, and
Jason is out in the lawn
And he powerwashes every time things go wrong
If you're stressed out, just know you can dance
to your song
'Cause we got you

If you get the blues, baby blues


Just know this is your song
It'll live on and on, way past me and you
If you get the blues, baby blues
You've got us, we've got you
So there's nothing to lose, and we love you

So don't write me a letter


I'll always be right here
Closer to you than your next breath, my dear
