Off To The Races

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 LA 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, 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

Chasin' me all over town

'Cause he knows I'm wasted

Facin' 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

Singin' 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 rolling stone

Likes to watch me in a glass room, bathroom

Chateau Marmot, slipping 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 for his loins

Keep me forever, tell me you own me

Light of your life, fire of you 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

Now I'm off to the races, laces

Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down

I can see you 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

Raisin' Hell all over town

Sorry 'bout it

My old man is a thief

And I'm gonna stay and pray with him till 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'll 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 going 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

You are my one true love
