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 doesn't mind that I have a Las Vegas past

He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me

He loves me, with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimmin' pool glimmerin', darling

       White bikini off with my red nail polish 

    Watch me in the swimmin' pool, bright blue                 
                                     Ripples

       You Sittin', on your black cristal, oh, yeah

              Light of my life, fire of my loins

              Be a good baby, do what I want

             Light of my light, fire of my loins

   Gimme them gold coins, gimme 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 at
                                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

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

Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom,
Château marmot

Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' 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, gimme 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 at
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

Yo, I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight, and I am fallin'
down

I can see your face, is shameless, Cipriani's
Basement

Love you, but I'm goin' 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 'til 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'll never leave you!

They would rue the day I was alone, without you

You're lyin' with your gold chain on

Cigar hangin' from your lips, I said, "Hon'"

"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 goin'
in

To Las Vegas, chaos, Casino Oasis

Honey, it is 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

You are my one true love
