National Anthem - Lana del Rey

Money is the anthem

Of success

So before we go out

What's your address?

I'm your National Anthem

God, you're so handsome

Take me to the Hamptons

Bugatti Veyron

He loves to romance them

Reckless abandon

Holdin' me for ransom

Upper echelon

He says to "be cool" but

I don't know how yet

Wind in my hair

Hand on the back of my neck

I said, "Can we party later on?"

He said, "Yes, yes, yes"

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down

Making me so wild now

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Sugar, sugar, how now

Take your body down town

Red, white, blue is in the sky

Summer's in the air and

Baby, heaven's in your eyes

I'm your National Anthem

Money is the reason

We exist

Everybody knows it, it's a fact

Kiss, kiss

I sing the National Anthem

While I'm standing over your body

Hold you like a python

And you can't keep your hands off me

Or your pants on

See what you've done to me

King of Chevron

He said to "be cool" but

I'm already coolest

I said to “get real",

“Don't you know who you're dealing with?

Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?”

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down

Making me so wild now

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Sugar, sugar, how now

Take your body down town

Red, white, blue is in the sky

Summer's in the air and

Baby, heaven's in your eyes

I'm your National Anthem

It's a love story for the new age

For the six page

We're on a quick sick rampage

Wining and dining

Drinking and driving

Excessive buying

Overdose and dyin'

On our drugs and our love

And our dreams and our rage

Blurring the lines between real and the fake

Dark and lonely

I need somebody to hold me

He will do very well

I can tell, I can tell

Keep me safe in his bell tower, hotel

Money is the anthem of success

So put on mascara, and your party dress

I'm your National Anthem

Boy, put your hands up

Give me a standing ovation

Boy, you have landed

Babe, in the land of

Sweetness and Danger

Queen of Saigon

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Ooh, yeah, baby, bow down

Making me so wild now

Tell me I'm your National Anthem

Sugar, sugar, how now

Take your body down town

Red, white, blue is in the sky

Summer's in the air and

Baby, heaven's in your eyes

I'm your National Anthem

Money is the anthem

God, you're so handsome

Money is the anthem

Of success

Money is the anthem

God, you're so handsome

Money is the anthem

Of success

Money is the anthem

God, you're so handsome

Money is the anthem

Of success

Money is the anthem

God, you're so handsome

Money is the anthem

Of success

And I remember when I met him.

It was so clear that he was the only one for me.

We both knew right away.

And as the years went on things got more difficult,

We were faced with more challenges.

I begged him to stay,

Tried to remember what we had in the beginning.

He was charismatic, magnetic, electric, and everybody knew him

When he walked in every woman's head turned.

Everyone stood up to talk to him.

He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn't contain himself.

I always got the sense that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him.

And in that way, I understood him.

And I loved him, I loved him, I loved him, I loved him.

And I still love him, I love him.
