four hundred and eighty five.
Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother, Jesus is my bestest friend.
We don’t need nobody, ‘cause we got each other, or at least I pretend.
I sing the Body Electric.
Last night I saw Lana Del Rey in concert. Lana Del Rey, Lana Del fucking Rey. I can hardly describe how much I adore her. It was the best gig I have ever been to in my entire life. Just to be standing in the same space as her…
Every song was perfect, she looked so amazing and just seems like a total sweetheart.
I thought I couldn’t be anymore excited, and then the next song would start.
I had my baby’s arms around my the whole time, which made it even better.
Last night was a night I will never forget.
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, be still my heart.

Dear Lord, when I get to heaven, please let me bring my man. When he comes, tell me that you’ll let him in, Father tell me if you can. Oh that grace, oh that body, oh that face, it makes me wanna party. He’s my sun, he makes me shine, like diamonds. Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?
I’m in your favourite sun dress, watching me get undressed, take that body down town. I say you’re the bestest, lean in for a big kiss, put your favourite perfume on. Go play your video games. It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you, everything I do. I tell you all the time. Heaven is a place on earth with you, tell me all the things you wanna do.
It’s better than I ever even knew, they say that the world was built for two.
Hold me in your arms, love me like your best friend’s here, promise I won’t hurt you kid, hold me really tight until the stars look big. Never let me go.
She wore blue velvet, bluer than velvet was the night. Softer than satin was the light from the stars. She wore blue velvet, bluer than velvet were her eyes.
Ours a love I held tightly, feeling the rapture grow. Like a flame burning brightly, but when she left, gone was the glow.
You were like so sick, everybody said it, you were way ahead of the trend get, get it. Elvis is the best, hell yes, honey put on that party dress.
Everybody wants to go fast, but they can’t compare. I don’t really want the rest, only you can take me there. I don’t even know what I’m saying but I’m praying for you.
You’re a careless con and you’re a crazy liar, but baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down.
In the land of Gods and Monsters I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard.
Kiss me hard before you go, summertime sadness. I just wanted you to know, that baby you’re the best. I’m feeling electric tonight, cruising down the coast going bout ‘99. Got my bad baby by my heavenly side, I know if I go, I’ll die happy tonight.
Even my best days without you were nothing in comparison to my worst days once I had found you, once I had you, I had everything.
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine, but I wish I was dead.
Red, white, blue is in the sky, summer’s in the air and baby heaven’s in your eyes.
If you should go before me then know, that I always loved you, there’s no-one above you, baby.
Let me fuck you hard in the pouring rain, you like your girls insane.
Feet don’t fail me now, take me to the finish line. Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take, but I’m hoping at the gates they’ll tell me that you’re mine.
You went out every night, and baby that’s all right. I told you that no matter what you did I’d be by your side. Cause I’m a ride or die, whether you fail or fly, well shit at least you tried. But when you walked out the door a piece of me died, told you I wanted more, it’s not what I had in mind. Just want it like before.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet. Giving me head on the unmade bed.
I don’t mean to suggest that I love you the best, I can’t keep track of each fallen robin.
Summertime is nice and hot, and my life is sweet like vanilla is. Gold and silver line my heart, but brand into my brain are these stolen images. Stolen images, baby stolen images. Can you picture it, babe the life we could’ve lived.
Remember how we used to escape for the summer? Fireworks and sparklers would light up the black skies. We’d hold on tight for our lives to each other. Hello, hello, where did you go?
Flowers in my hair and your breath smelt like whiskey. Promised anywhere that I go I’d take you with me.
four hundred and eighty four.
Hot summer nights, mid July, when you and I were forever wild.
The crazy days, the city lights, the way you’d play with me like a child.
