Gods & Monsters - Lana Del Rey

In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel Living in the garden of evil Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed Shining like a fiery beacon You got that medicine I need Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly Put your hands on my waist, do it softly Me and God, we don't get along, so now I sing No one's gonna take my soul away I'm living like Jim Morrison Headed towards a messed up holiday Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing "Oh, yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want" It's innocence lost Innocence lost In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel Looking to get hit hard Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer Life imitates art You got that medicine I need Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart, please I don't really wanna know what's good for me God's dead, I said, "Baby, that's alright with me" No one's gonna take my soul away I'm living like Jim Morrison Headed towards a messed up holiday Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing "Oh, yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want" It's innocence lost Innocence lost When you talk, it's like a movie, and you're making me crazy 'Cause life imitates art If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby? You tell me, "Life isn't that hard" No one's gonna take my soul away I'm living like Jim Morrison Headed towards a messed up holiday Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing "Oh, yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want" It's innocence lost Innocence lost

Oh, before they turn off all the lights I won't read you your wrongs or your rights The time has gone I'll tell you goodnight, close the door Tell you I love you once more The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Oh, well, I'll read a story to you Only difference is this one is true The time has gone I folded your clothes on the chair I hope you sleep well, don't be scared The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Sleep a lifetime Yes, and breathe a last word You can feel my hand on your own I will be the last one So I'll leave a light on Let there be no darkness, in your heart But I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away

Take control, take control I see a vision rising, dreary Fading in as children play twilight games In the town called Ordinary An eye of light reveals a gateway to doomsday In that projection of reality Something passes through the stars, shifting walls Enter agents of ill fantasy For evil holds you in its arms, false alarms Illusory, treading on reality Polaris in a web of hypocrisy Take control Take control Oh, can't you see, see the light is fading? And in the night the demons rage and call your name No deeper madness than your own making Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame? Hissing noises in the hallway Bloodshot eyes, staring through, what seeds are sown? Who'll survive the blood red power play? Who'll take control, whose name will be known? Illusory, reality's all fallacy Polaris in a web of hypocrisy Take control Take control I wish I'd had the wherewithal To find you when I had the chance Instead I danced with death in fervour's skin I missed the moment before the fall To recognise I had a voice A choice to stop it all from happening If only I could save you from the pain A rising sense of awe and wonder A might I see has always been deep within me I can feel my inborn power I call the shots when it's all finally clear to see And so I'm drawn ever deeper In the Oldest House and all these empty rooms This vacant, spellbound mystery motel Where I'm the keeper, where I set the rules Potency is my new reality Polaris living now inside of me I control I control I control

Ain't no Been through the heart of it, living it still Nobody move or somebody get killed I got the pole, aim my scope at his head Look in his eyes and he knew he was dead This ain't no Dunleavey but he be said I pray to God but who pray for the kid? Life is too short to be living in fear Especially when you know winter is here Uh
