OFF TO THE RACES~L.D.R


My old man is a bad man
but I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples
You, sitting and sipping on your black cristal, yeah

Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Give me those gold coins, give me them coins

And I'm off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
Because he knows I'm wasted
Facing time again on Rikers Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
I'm ready for you

My old man is a tough man
But he got soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me he knows me
And every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke-down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me,
Admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone

He likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom
Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my makeup
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
Says it feels like heaven to him

Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me you own me, give me them coins

I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down
I can see your face is shameless
Cipriani's basement, love you but I'm going down
God, I'm so crazy baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlot, starlet, queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Sorry about it

My old man is a thief
and I'm gonna stay and pray with him until the end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us
Take him when He may, if He may
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you
They would rue the day I was alone without you

You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar hanging from your lips
I said, "Hun, you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man".

And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set, the gate is down and now we're going in
To Las Vegas, chaos, casino oasis
Honey, it's time to spin
Boy, you're so crazy baby
I love you forever, not maybe
You are my one true love

You are my 1 true love.
