Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Off to the Race" dari Lana Del Rey.
[Verse 1]
Em
My old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
Am Em
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
Am
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
Em
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
(Em)
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Am
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
Em
You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Em)
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Am
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Em
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins
[Chorus]
(Em)
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
Am
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Em
Ready for you
[Verse 2]
(Em)
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
Am
And he shows me, he knows me
Em
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
Am
In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
Em
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone
(Em)
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
Am Em
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume
Says it feels like heaven to him
[Pre-Chorus]
