Lana Del Rey - hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it
[00:01.69] I was reading Slim Aarons
[00:03.68] And I got to thinking that I thought
[00:10.17] Maybe I'd get less stressed, if I was tested less like
[00:16.42] All of these debutantes
[00:19.67] Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels
[00:23.69] On white yachts
[00:27.67] But I'm not
[00:30.92] Baby I'm not
[00:34.68] No, I'm not
[00:38.43] That I'm not
[00:42.67] I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
[00:47.42] 24/7, Sylvia Plath
[00:52.17] Writing in blood on my walls
[00:54.68] 'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad
[01:00.69] Don't ask if I'm happy
[01:02.92] You know that I'm not but at best I can say
[01:06.69] I'm not sad
[01:09.42] 'Cause hope is a dangerous thing
[01:12.67] For a woman like me to have
[01:17.91] Hope is a dangerous thing
[01:21.42] For a woman like me to have
[01:44.17] I had fifteen year dances
[01:46.17] Church basement romances yeah I've got
[01:52.68] Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
[01:56.68] Is the only love I've ever known
[02:01.44] Except for the stage which I also call home
[02:05.42] When I'm not serving up God in a burnt coffee pot
[02:13.41] For the triad
[02:17.91] Hello it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
[02:26.67] Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say
[02:31.94] "Hi dad"
[02:34.92] I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown
[02:39.42] Like a goddamn near sociopath
[02:44.17] Shaking my ass is the only thing that's
[02:48.17] Got this black narcissist off my back
[02:52.67] She couldn't care less
[02:54.42] And I never cared more
[02:56.91] So there's no more to say about that
[03:01.17] Except hope is a dangerous thing
[03:04.43] For a woman like me to have
[03:09.91] Hope is a dangerous thing
[03:13.17] For a woman with my past
[03:18.44] There's a new revolution
[03:20.93] A loud evolution
[03:23.42] That I saw
[03:27.17] Born of confusion
[03:29.42] And quiet collusion of which
[03:33.17] Mostly I've known
[03:36.43] A modern day woman
[03:38.42] With a weak constitution
[03:40.42] 'Cause I've got
[03:44.68] Monsters still under my bed
[03:47.68] That I could never fight off
[03:53.42] A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off
[04:01.42] I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
[04:06.42] 24/7, Sylvia Plath
[04:10.68] Writing in blood on your walls
[04:13.42] 'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad
[04:19.42] They write that I'm happy
[04:21.69] They know that I'm not
[04:23.68] But at best you can see I'm not sad
[04:28.42] But hope is a dangerous thing
[04:31.66] For a woman like me to have
[04:37.17] Hope is a dangerous thing
[04:40.42] For a woman like me to have
[04:45.92] Hope is a dangerous thing
[04:48.91] For a woman like me to have
[04:53.69] But I have it
[04:57.81] Yeah, I have it
[05:02.56] Yeah, I have it
[05:07.06] I have
