Off To The Races
[00:00.56] My old man is a bad man, but
[00:03.50] I can't deny the way he holds my hand
[00:05.89] And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
[00:12.27] He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
[00:15.19] He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me
[00:19.18] He loves me, with every beat of his cocaine heart
[00:23.74] Swimmin' pool glimmerin', darling
[00:26.14] White bikini off with my red nail polish
[00:29.06] Watch me in the swimmin' pool, bright blue ripples
[00:31.99] You sittin', sippin' on your Black Cristal, oh, yeah
[00:35.77] Light of my life, fire of my loins
[00:38.69] Be a good baby, do what I want
[00:41.89] Light of my life, fire of my loins
[00:44.81] Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins
[00:46.94] And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[00:50.66] Chasin' me all over town
[00:53.07] 'Cause he knows I'm wasted, facin' time again at Rikers Island
[00:57.32] And I won't get out
[00:59.19] Because I'm crazy, baby
[01:02.64] I need you to come here and save me
[01:05.05] I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden
[01:08.77] Kiss me on my open mouth
[01:10.90] Ready for you
[01:15.41] My old man is a tough man, but
[01:18.07] He got a soul as sweet as blood-red jam
[01:20.99] And he shows me, he knows me
[01:23.65] Every inch of my tar-black soul
[01:27.12] He doesn't mind I have a flat broke-down life
[01:30.06] In fact, he says he thinks it's what he might like about me
[01:34.32] Admires me, the way I roll like a rolling stone
[01:38.06] Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom, Château Marmont
[01:41.77] Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
[01:44.69] Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
[01:48.68] Says it feels like heaven to him
[01:50.57] Light of his life, fire of his loins
[01:53.51] Keep me forever, tell me you own me
[01:56.71] Light of your life, fire of your loins
[01:59.63] Tell me you own me, gimme them coins
[02:02.04] And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[02:05.77] Chasin' me all over town
[02:08.97] 'Cause he knows I'm wasted, facin' time again at Rikers Island
[02:12.15] And I won't get out
[02:14.02] Because I'm crazy, baby
[02:17.49] I need you to come here and save me
[02:20.17] I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden
[02:23.89] Kiss me on my open mouth
[02:26.00] Yo, I'm off to the races, laces
[02:28.39] Leather on my waist is tight, and I am fallin' down
[02:32.14] I can see your face, is shameless, Cipriani's Basement
[02:35.59] Love you, but I'm goin' down
[02:38.25] God, I'm so crazy, baby
[02:41.46] I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
[02:44.13] I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
[02:47.85] Raisin' hell all over town
[02:49.99] Sorry 'bout it
[02:54.50] My old man is a thief, and
[02:56.90] I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
[03:02.49] But I trust in the decision of the Lord, to watch over us
[03:08.90] Take him when He may, if He may
[03:12.09] I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
[03:17.14] Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
[03:20.62] I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you!
[03:24.09] They would rue the day I was alone, without you
[03:29.94] You're lyin' with your gold chain on
[03:31.78] Cigar hangin' from your lips, I said, "Hon'"
[03:33.94] "You never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man"
[03:44.30] And we're off to the races, places
[03:46.69] Ready, set, the gate is down and now we're goin' in
[03:47.60] To Las Vegas, chaos, Casino Oasis
[03:51.05] Honey, it is time to spin
[03:53.19] Boy, you're so crazy, baby
[03:56.64] I love you forever, not maybe
[03:59.28] You are my one true love
[04:02.23] You are my one true love
[04:23.25] You are my one true love
