Off To The Races lyrics:
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 a L.A. 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
Oh 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
Gimme them gold coins
Gimme them coins
And I'm off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing 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
Singing 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 rollin' stone
Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom
Chateau Marmont, 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
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing 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
Singing 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 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 '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'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, "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
Written by Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (a/k/a Lana Del Rey) / Tim Larcombe

[@kate-rs8qr]

i actually love the slight chaotic energy her live performances have,,,

[@modifiedcontent]

Absolutely. It's alive, dangerous, always on the edge of derailing. She reminds me of Nick Cave.

She is such a diva in this one. Finally she did justice to this masterpiece

[@Ruined_Karma]

I’ve been a fan of her so long and she’s improved so much but I don’t like how loud the backing vocals are in comparison to her own mic //:

Cierto, suena tan distinto en vivo y en estudio.

lmao, it's because she can't sing dude. She needs the back up singers to carry her. It's like her fans make excuses for her mediocrity.

I fell in love with her when I heard this song in 2012, always wish I could hear her perform this song like in the recorded version.

[@Medichamrulez]

Some performances are great, others not so much. There is one in Chile I could not watch through. This one I love. It goes with her mood, I guess xD Nothing can beat the studio track, though! I hear it on repeat day after day S2

[@sparkleclover]

there's a video on here called "off to the races (new song)" from 2011 where she performs it very close to the recorded version.

Hi Jussi, it's a pocket-sized Sony camera called the DSC HX-99. It's not perfect, but the audio and video quality are quite good for a camera this size and price. All the best Tim

@Oliwia: If you look at the typical set list from this tour (here's San Diego for example: www.setlist.fm/setlist/lana-del-rey/2019/cal-coast-credit-union-open-air-theatre-san-diego-ca-139db5d1.html ), you'll see she's playing a lot of the songs from the new album as well. All the best, Tim

[@anthonycoca2202]

I can’t stand when Lana is in this type of setting. She’s a soloist. Not part of a three girl group. This ain’t The Supremes 2.0. This ain’t a Destiny’s Child tribute band. It should be Lana and Lana only. This makes her look like the out of place, out of step, out of shape, out to dry part of a female trio who can’t keep up with the other two girls grabbing the attention. Whose idea was it? I thought this experiment had been nixed after her last concert tour. Maybe I was just hoping.... If the other two girls are supposed to provide back up then they should back way the fuck up and not stand right alongside of her where they basically overpower her as she falls behind them. Ugh. Lana doesn’t need cheesy choreography. She needs to ditch the side show and reclaim the spotlight. ALONE.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

Lana is comfortable in her own skin. She knows those 2 dancers can't put a patch on her ass. Lana is so talented with just her words alone. I am embarssed for you. You're vapid and shallow.

[@anthonycoca2202]

ícҽís թհօҽղíx awww... Did you learn new words today? How quaint. They best be used someplace more applicable and targeted on someone more befitting of such faulting adjectives as they do not ascribe to my personal character in the belittling attack you just made in your unjust claim. Then again, having never met, you wouldn’t know my true character, would you? No. You wouldn’t. However, my assessment of you from your response is that you’re judgmental, snide, and know nothing at all about production. If you did, you would know that this has nothing to do with Lana being “comfortable in her own skin”. Nor is it about the silly remark you made about LDR’s feelings about her “dancers”. It’s about placement, aesthetics, presentation, etc. In a word ~ STAGING. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be you. You seem to know nothing of it, or the production, presentation, aesthetics, and all else it took to create the character that transformed Elizabeth Woolridge Grant into LANA DEL REY, of which there were three incarnations before they stuck to the one that worked onstage and off. Not knowing her stage fright and slight awkwardness on stage, the team ditched the huge wigs and platform stilettos and decided to place her behind a standing microphone in dresses and gown where she became the “chanteuse” instead of a wind up pop tart bopping around stage. That’s why placing her BEHIND two high energy props that are lip-synching in FRONT of her is a wrong move. In any situation or setting you NEVER place the main subject or central feature in a place where it gets lost in the background or pair it with something that pulls focus unless it’s done with intention and reason. Even then, it’s only momentary. Even within the realm and illusion of LDR, this stunt comes off as disingenuous and forced. It would be better if she were up there with just her talent. Just her words. Without the sideshow seemingly upstaging her. Even without them she’s not alone up there with “just her words”. She’s there with a whole production team. A team I’m much more than familiar with. So go find someone else to be “embarrassed” for. You’re boring and trivial to me.

[@marlenasien8793]

I understand what's you're saying, and I agree. But ultimately it's her choice, and she always does what she does for reasons. She probably has a certain visual in her mind. I think this would have worked for her 1st album, but not now with this folk phase she's embracing.

[@anthonycoca2202]

Jαժҽ Rαตíɾҽz Being as you’re insignificant to me, your opinion is of no consequence or relevance. Go kick rocks and bemoan elsewhere.
