Off to the races

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 doens't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doens'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 sittin', sippin' 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 lions
Give me them gold goins, give me them goins
And I'm off the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted
Facin' 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, singin' in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you

My old man is a tough man, but he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me, 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
Slippin' on my red dress, punttin' on my makeup
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
Says it feels like heave 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

And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted
Facin' 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, singin' in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you

Yo I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is thight 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
Raisin' hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it

My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him till 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 breath you, I'd never leave you
They would true the day I was alone without you

You're lyin' with your gold chain on
Cigar hangin' 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, casion 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 one true love
