And Im Off to the Races Again Broadway Lyrics
Off To The Races
✕
My old human being is a bad man
Only I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't listen I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't heed I have a L.A. crass way about me
He loves me with every vanquish of his cocaine centre
Swimming puddle, glimmering darling
White bikini off with my ruby-red nail shine
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples
You sittin', sippin' on your Black Cristal
Oh yeah
Lite 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 gilt coins
Gimme them coins
And I'1000 off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing fourth dimension again at Rikers Isle
And I won't get out
Because I'thou crazy, babe
I need yous to come here and salve me
I'k your little scarlet, starlet
Singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open up mouth
Ready for you
My old man is a tough human
But he got a soul every bit sweetness as blood scarlet jam
And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a apartment, broke-downwards life
In fact, he says he thinks it's what he might like near me
Admires me, the way I curl like a rollin' rock
Likes to spotter me in the glass room, bath
Chateau Marmont, slippin' on my ruddy clothes, puttin' on my makeup
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
Says it feels like heaven to him
Calorie-free of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you ain me
Low-cal of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me y'all own me
Gimme them coins
And I'thousand off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasing me all over town
'Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing time over again at Rikers Island
And I won't get out
Because I'm crazy, infant
I need you to come up here and relieve me
I'grand your footling scarlet, starlet
Singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open oral fissure
Yo, I'one thousand off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling downwardly
I can come across your confront is shameless
Cipriani's basement
Love you lot, but I'g going down
God, I'chiliad and then crazy, babe
I'yard sorry that I'g misbehaving
I'm your lilliputian harlot, starlet
Queen of Coney Isle
Raising hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it
My old man is a thief
And I'thousand gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord
To watch over us
Have him when He may, if He may
I'one thousand not afraid to say that I'd dice without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you lot, I breathe yous, I'd never go out you
They would rue the solar day I was alone without you
You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar hanging from your lips
I said, "Hon', yous never looked so beautiful
As you lot exercise at present, my human being"
And nosotros're off to the races, places
Ready, gear up, the gate is down and now nosotros're goin' in
To Las Vegas, chaos, Casino Oasis
Honey, it is time to spin
Boy, yous're and then crazy, infant
I love you forever, not possibly
You are my i true dearest
You are my one truthful honey
