Transcript of Off to the Races

"Off To The Races"My old man is a bad man butI can't deny the way he holds my handAnd he grabs me, he has me by my heartHe doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas pastHe doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about meHe loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering darlingWhite bikini off with my red nail polishWatch me in the swimming poolBright blue ripples, you sittin', sippin' on your black CristalOh yeah

Light of my life, fire of my loinsBe a good baby, do what I wantLight of my life, fire of my loinsGive me them gold coins, give me them coins

And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasersChasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted,Facin' time again on Rikers Island and I won't get outBecause I'm crazy baby, I need you to come here and save meI'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the gardenKiss me on my open mouthReady for you

My old man is a tough man butHe's got a soul as sweet as blood red jamAnd he shows me, he knows meEvery inch of my tar black soulHe doesn't mind I have a flat broke down lifeIn fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about meAdmires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone

Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom, Chateau MarmontSlippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeupGlass film, perfume, cognac, lilacFumes, says it feels like heaven to him

Light of his life, fire of his loinsKeep me forever, tell me you own meLight of your life, fire of your loinsTell me you own me, give me them coins

And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasersChasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted,Facin' time again on Rikers Island and I won't get outBecause I'm crazy baby, I need you to come here and save meI'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the gardenKiss me on my open mouth

Yo I'm off to the races, lacesLeather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' downI can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basementLove you but I'm going downGod I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehavingI'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney IslandRaising hell all over townSorry 'bout it

My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the endBut I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over usTake him when he may, if he mayI'm not afraid to say that I'd die without himWho else is gonna put up with me this way?I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave youThey would rue the day I was alone without youYou're lyin' with your gold chain on, cigar hangin' from your lipsI said "Hun' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man."

And we're off to the races, placesReady, set, the gate is down and now we're goin' inTo Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spinBoy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybeYou are my one true love, you are my one true love

You are my one true love
