My old man is a bad man but
I can't deny the way he holds my hand
Em Em
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
Em
He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me
Em
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
Em
Swimming pool glimmering darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Em7 Em
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples
Em
You sit sippin' on your black Cristal, yeah
Em
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Em
Light of my life, fire of my loins
Em
Give me them gold coins, gimme them coins
Em
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
C
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D Bm7
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C7M
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Em
Ready for you
Em
My old man is a tough man but
He got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
Em
And he shows me, he knows me
Em
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
Em
In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me
Em
Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone
Em
Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup
Em Em
Glass room perfume Cognac lilac fume
Says it feels like heaven to him
Em
Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Em
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Em
Tell me you own me, gimme them coins
Em
And I'm off to the races, cases
of Bacardi chasers, chasin' me all over town
C
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing
Time again on Riker's Island and I won't get out
D Bm7
Because I'm crazy, baby I need you to come here and save me
C7M
I'm your little scarlet, starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Em
Now I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down
C
I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement
Love you but I'm going down
D Bm7
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
C7M
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Em
Sorry 'bout it
Em Am
My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
Em Am
But I trust in the decision of the lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
Em
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Am
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you
Em
They would rue the day I was alone without you
Am
You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips
Em
I said "Hon' you never looked so beautiful
D
as you do now, my man."
Em
And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
C
to Las Vegas caos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
D Bm7
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
C7m
You are my one true love, you are my one true love
Em C D Bm
C7M
You are my one true love
Em C D Bm C7M Em
