Lana Del Rey: Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have - But I Have It

i was reading Slim Aarons
and i got to thing that I thought
maybe I’d get less stressed if I was tasted less like all of these debutants
smiling for miles in pink dresses
and high heels on white yachts
but I am not baby, I am not
no, I am not that, I am not

I;ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
writing in blood on the walls
cause the ink my pen don’t work in my notepad
don’t ask if I am happy
you know that I am not
but at best I can say I am not saad
cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

I had 15 years dances
church basement romances
yes, I’ve got
splling my guts with the bowary Bums
is the only love I;ve ever known
except for the stage
which I also call horne, whne I am not
serving up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
hello it’s the most famous woman you know on the iPad
calling from beyond the grave
I just wanna say, HI, Dad!

I;ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
writing in blood on the walls
cause the ink my pen don’t work in my notepad
don’t ask if I am happy
you know that I am not
but at best I can say I am not saad
cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

there’s a now revolution
a loud evolution that I saw
born of confusion and qiuiet collusion of which mostly t’ve known
a modern day woman with a weak constitution , cause I;ve got
monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
a gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my night off

I;ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
writing in blood on the walls
cause the ink my pen don’t work in my notepad
don’t ask if I am happy
you know that I am not
but at best I can say I am not saad
cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
