Off To The Races
My old man is a bad man butI can't deny the way he holds my handAnd he grabs me, he has me by my heartHe doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas pastHe doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about meHe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
Swimming pool glimmering darlingWhite bikini off with my red nail polishWatch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripplesYou sit sippin' on your black Crystal, yeah
Light of my life, fire of my loinsBe a good baby, do what I wantLight of my life, fire of my loinsGive me them gold coins, gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, casesOf Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over townCause he knows I'm wasted, facingTime again on Riker's Island and I won't get outBecause I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save meI'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the gardenKiss me on my open mouthReady for you
My old man is a tough man butHe got a soul as sweet as blood red jamAnd he shows me, he knows meEvery inch of my tar black soulHe doesn't mind I have a flat broke down lifeIn fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about meAdmires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau MarmontSlippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeupGlass room perfume Cognac lilac fumeSays it feels like heaven to him
Light of his life, fire of his loinsKeep me forever, tell me you own meLight of your life, fire of your loinsTell me you own me, gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races, casesOf Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over townCause he knows I'm wasted, facingTime again on Riker's Island and I won't get outBecause I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save meI'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the gardenKiss me on my open mouth
Now I'm off to the races, lacesLeather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' downI can see your face is shameless, trippy on his basementLove you but I'm going downGod I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehavingI'm your little harlet, starlet, Queen of Coney IslandRaising hell all over townSorry 'bout it
My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the endBut I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over usTake him when he may, if he mayI'm not afraid to say that I'd die without himWho else is gonna put up with me this way?I need you, I breathe you, I never leave youThey would rue the day I was alone without youYou're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lipsI said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."
And we're off to the races, placesReady, set the gate is down and now we're goin' inTo Las Vegas pay us, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spinBoy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybeYou are my one true love, you are my one true love
