↡ Lana Del Rey

Gods and Monsters

From the album Born to Die, released in 2012/393. I would never have heard it if not by way of ❲Jessica Lange's rendition of it in❳ American Horror Story ❲season 4, 2014/396❳. 🫢


In the land of gods and monsters
I was an angel ⑊
  living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, ⑊
  doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon

You got that medicine I need
Fame, liquor, love, ⑊
  give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, ⑊
  do it softly
Me and God, we don't get along, ⑊
  so now I sing

[chorus]
No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees, sprees and I'm singing
"Fuck yeah, give it to me, ⑊
  this is heaven, what I truly want"
It's innocence lost, innocence lost

In the land of gods and monsters
I was an angel ⑊
  looking to get fucked hard
Like a groupie incognito, posing ⑊
  as a real singer
Life imitates art

You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up, straight ⑊
  to the heart, please
I don't really wanna know ⑊
  what's good for me
God's dead, I said, "Baby, ⑊
  that's alright with me"

[chorus]
No one's gonna take my soul away..

When you talk, it's like a movie ⑊
  and you're makin' me crazy
'Cause life imitates art
If I get a little prettier, ⑊
  can I be your baby?
You tell me life isn't that hard

[chorus]
No one's gonna take my soul away..
