hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it Lana Del Rey

[00:00.72] I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to thinking that I thought
[00:08.93] Maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like
[00:15.63] All of these debutantes
[00:18.62] Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts
[00:26.17] But I'm not
[00:29.92] Baby, I'm not
[00:33.73] No, I'm not
[00:37.43] That, I'm not
[00:41.68] I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
[00:46.45] 24/7 Sylvia Plath
[00:51.09] Writing in blood on the walls
[00:53.74] 'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad
[00:59.39] Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not
[01:03.57] But, at best, I can say I'm not sad
[01:08.28] 'Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[01:16.98] Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[01:25.20]
[01:42.70] I had fifteen-year dances
[01:44.93] Church basement romances, yeah, I've cried
[01:51.67] Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
[01:55.76] Is the only love I've ever known
[02:00.36] Except for the stage, which I also call home, when I'm not
[02:08.41] Servin' up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
[02:17.14] Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
[02:25.62] Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad"
[02:34.07] I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown
[02:38.61] Like a goddamn near sociopath
[02:43.15] Shaking my ass is the only thing that's
[02:47.08] Got this black narcissist off my back
[02:51.53] She couldn't care less, and I never cared more
[02:55.49] So there's no more to say about that
[02:59.95] Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[03:08.56] Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past
[03:17.11] There's a new revolution, a loud evolution that I saw
[03:25.88] Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known
[03:34.87] A modern day woman with a weak constitution, 'cause I've got
[03:43.49] Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
[03:52.11] A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off
[04:00.30] I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
[04:04.72] 24/7 Sylvia Plath
[04:09.39] Writing in blood on your walls
[04:12.46] 'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad
[04:18.02] They write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not
[04:22.23] But, at best, you can see I'm not sad
[04:27.15] But hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[04:35.71] Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[04:44.51] Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
[04:52.74] But I have it
[04:56.71] Yeah, I have it
[05:01.04] Yeah, I have it
[05:05.12] I have
[05:06.87]
