Off To The Races
[00:00.32] My old man is a bad man, but
[00:03.16] I can't deny the way he holds my hand
[00:05.61] And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
[00:12.15] He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
[00:15.25] He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me
[00:19.41] He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
[00:23.91] Swimming pool, glimmering, darling
[00:26.19] White bikini off with my red nail polish
[00:29.13] Watch me in the swimming pool, bright blue ripples
[00:31.83] You sittin', sippin' on your Black Cristal, oh yeah
[00:35.91] Light of my life, fire of my loins
[00:39.00] Be a good baby, do what I want
[00:42.08] Light of my life, fire of my loins
[00:45.01] Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins
[00:47.03] And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[00:50.75] Chasing me all over town
[00:53.21] 'Cause he knows I'm wasted, facing time again at Rikers Island
[00:57.36] And I won't get out
[00:59.15] Because I'm crazy, baby
[01:02.88] I need you to come here and save me
[01:05.32] I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden
[01:08.94] Kiss me on my open mouth
[01:11.20] Ready for you
[01:15.36] My old man is a tough man, but
[01:18.19] He got a soul as sweet as blood-red jam
[01:20.75] And he shows me, he knows me
[01:23.58] Every inch of my tar black soul
[01:27.21] He doesn't mind I have a flat, broke-down life
[01:30.32] In fact, he says he thinks it's what he might like about me
[01:34.47] Admires me, the way I roll like a rollin' stone
[01:37.82] Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom, Chateau Marmont
[01:41.82] Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
[01:44.82] Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
[01:48.72] Says it feels like heaven to him
[01:50.97] Light of his life, fire of his loins
[01:53.89] Keep me forever, tell me you own me
[01:56.84] Light of your life, fire of your loins
[01:59.93] Tell me you own me, gimme them coins
[02:01.97] And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
[02:05.91] Chasing me all over town
[02:08.21] 'Cause he knows I'm wasted, facing time again at Rikers Island
[02:12.35] And I won't get out
[02:13.96] Because I'm crazy, baby
[02:17.66] I need you to come here and save me
[02:20.21] I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singing in the garden
[02:24.01] Kiss me on my open mouth
[02:25.92] Yo, I'm off to the races, laces
[02:28.34] Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down
[02:32.22] I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
[02:35.79] Love you, but I'm going down
[02:38.22] God, I'm so crazy, baby
[02:41.69] I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
[02:44.09] I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
[02:47.97] Raising hell all over town
[02:50.12] Sorry 'bout it
[02:54.30] My old man is a thief, and
[02:56.86] I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
[03:02.61] But I trust in the decision of the Lord, to watch over us
[03:09.16] Take him when He may, if He may
[03:12.16] I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
[03:17.03] Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
[03:20.80] I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you
[03:24.42] They would rue the day I was alone without you
[03:29.80] You're lying with your gold chain on
[03:31.83] Cigar hanging from your lips, I said, "Hon"
[03:34.65] "You never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man"
[03:40.93] And we're off to the races, places
[03:43.51] Ready, set, the gate is down and now we're goin' in
[03:47.46] To Las Vegas, chaos, Casino Oasis
[03:50.83] Honey, it is time to spin
[03:53.13] Boy, you're so crazy, baby
[03:56.76] I love you forever, not maybe
[03:59.31] You are my one true love
[04:02.38] You are my one true love
[04:06.84] Ooh, oh-ooh
[04:16.98] Oh-oh, oh-oh
[04:23.43] You are my one true love
