Your Girl Lana

Remember how we used to party up all night
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
Drinking in the small town firelight
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Walking down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
Stealing police cars with the senior guys
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive

There she was my new best friend
High heels in her hands, swaying in the wind
While she starts to cry, mascara running down her little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's our curse
(Don't cry about it, don't cry about it)
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen

And that's where the beginning of the end begun
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job
With the boss

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Baby's table dancing at the local dive
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
Drinking cherry Schnapps in the velvet night

Yo, we used to go break in
To the hotel, glimmering we’d swim
Running from the cops in our black bikini tops
Screaming, "Get us while we're hot!
Get us while we're hot!"
(Come on take a shot)

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's our curse
(Don't cry about it, don't cry about it)
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen

The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
A freshman generation of degenerate beauty queens
And you know something?
They were the only friends I ever had
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
Crying 'cause I know I'm never coming back

This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put love first
Something that we'd die for, it's our curse
(Don't cry about it, don't cry about it)
This is what makes us girls
We don't stick together 'cause we put love first
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
It's all gonna happen

Met you in front of a diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from LA but you were all there
You were alright

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather, of a feather

You also take pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you’re so fun

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

You don’t think I’m that strange, you’re so weird
That’s cause you’re so queer, but who’s not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze

So many people think that you have it together
But they don’t see you crying in the shower
But I can make you better

'Cause you make me better, yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better

I toguht that we wouldnt talk bad about other artists here in LanaBoards....But fuck it....Now I can understand why Porcelain Black hates him now....

I hope that this help:)

Oh say, can you see my stars?
The night time is almost ours
To wander through alleys and look at the bars
Night time is almost ours

The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face then leave me the dark.
The voice of Nirvana says "Come as You Are"
And I will
The night time is almost ours

The sway of the hips and arms
Will cradle you from afar
They swing 'til you're tired and send you to Mars
Night time is almost ours

Oh say, can you see my stars?
The night time is almost ours
To wander through alleys and look at the bars
Night time is almost ours

The headlights from passing cars

The voice of Nirvana says "Come as You Are"
And I will
The night time is almost ours

The sway of the hips and arms
Will cradle you from afar
They swing 'til you're tired and send you to Mars
Night time is almost ours

Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing the national anthem
Buy a white sweater for the last white day of the summer
Buy my purple wig for my mermaid video
Walk back to where we live in my motel
On Neptune Avenue

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

Maybe we could go to Sway Tokyo
Or see Van Halen at the reunion show
Heavy metal hour on T.V.
Diamond Dave and Ray Lee
And you salute me, Miss America
Because I am, I am

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing you to sleep
God bless the universe, god bless the ocean
God bless you and god bless me (x2)

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

My momma wouldn’t say you were a nice guy
But you’re under 40 and you have a job
My momma wouldn’t say you was a good boy
But you’re making money and you’re working hard

So I’m gonna take you on
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along

My momma, she would say your hair was too long
But your hair exactly is what I like the best
And my momma sure would tell you was a hoodlum
But I didn't want a hoodlum and you don’t pass the test

So I’m gonna take you on
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along

Oh baby, you're standing so close, I can’t back down
You’re smiling and I know I’m over and done now
I am done now

My momma would say that it was wrong to see you
I lied just to meet you, I lied to get in
My momma, she would say that I deceived you
But that’s the only way I knew how to begin

So maybe you got your own problems, who doesn’t?
I’m crazy, you’re addicted, we’re all of a sudden

My momma, she would love you like I love you
If she ever met you, if she ever knew
My momma, she would fall right on top of you
If she ever saw you, she’d be smitten too

I’ll never take you home
I want you all for my own
Don’t let my momma hear your pretty song

I’m gonna take you on
I don’t feel like it’s wrong
Me and my momma, we don’t get along

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best

I've got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen-style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive

Oh, my god, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
 
(2-3-4)

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-Summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh

I'm feeling electric tonight
Cruising down the coast going 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my god, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore
 
(2-3-4)

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-Summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh

I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies
Late is better than never
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh

Do I make you feel like Christmastime?
Put me in a party dress one time
Love me till i see the sun shine

Who has a voice like smarty does?
Who has a choice like smarty does?
Nobody, nobody, nobody

Say I make you feel like Christmastime (x2)
Tell me that I feel like Christmastime

Baby, if you loved me you would call me your bunny
Tell me that I'm just a baby, honey
Beat me and tell me that no one will love me
Better than you do, better than you do

Dance me all around the room
Dance me around the room
Keep out the stars, turn out the lights
This little world is yours tonight
Dance me all around the room
Say you'll never leave me

Who has a choice like smarty does?
Nobody, nobody, nobody

Like you did, like you did when you were thirteen
Say i make you feel like
When you were the dirty heavy metal king
Say I make you feel all right, all right, all right

Kissing me till I see the sun shine (x2)

Keep out the stars, turn out the lights
This little world is yours tonight, is yours tonight
This little world is yours tonight
 
Say you'll never leave me (x2)
 
Who has a face like smarty does?

Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me

Palm trees in black and white
Last thing I saw before I died
Palm trees in black and white
Was the last thing I saw before I died
Right line, right man
Right mixture of cocaine and heroin

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Hair thinning in the wind
Cadillac convertible wind
Hot shot at two A.M.
You got the grin of a very old man

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Palm trees in black and white
You are a junkie on your window, smiling wide
Palm trees in black and white
Lean forward and you close your eyes
Last fight, fuck them
Last words before you went and left again

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, do it better than
Just do what you love, do it better than

Do you wanna?
Do you wanna?
Jump

All right, you got me
I don't play a good guitar
But what do want from me?
It's just a stupid bar
I didn't promise anything, no

You think I'm pretty and you like way I talk
I like your music and you like the way I walk
So I think we're gonna get along

I like the way you wear your sweater off your shoulder
The way your hair comes down and makes you look older
How you get so handsome, my boy?

Pretty baby
(x2)

The way your face is shaped, I wonder if you know
The way you stand up and your silhouette glows
I'm electrified, I'll be up all night now

Use that voice, sing that song
And tell me to come on, to come on, come on
You won't hear no
You won't hear no

Pretty baby
(x2)

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and metal flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them, oh

And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where i come
And it's gonna take money to go
Oh, no...

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

I can't do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since i was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Bound up the stairs
I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Do you know I am going to leave you?

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

Tell me about Ray and his girl
Do you know Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do
Stay here, I won't
The stars fade from your eyes

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
(x2)

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
(x2)
 
(One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone)

Demo lyrics in blue.


Give me coffee, king size cup
Come on kitty cat, fill her up
What's your name little buttercup?
That's for me to know and you to make up

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station

Look at you smoking in them neon lights
Under the thunder yo, you like so nice
Made me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them looking for men I like
Like you (x4)

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Take me to the gas station

Give me coffee, Utah love
I'm the kinda girl you dream of
I'm trying to tell you what i dream of
And that's gas stations
The Slurpee machines and organs playing
Preferably, with smoking inside
If you can swing it (swing it, swing it, swing it)
Maybe with a post office attached to it
With chickens running in and out of it
Saw one like that in New Mexico on Route 66
And I'd be real pleased if we could find one just like it again
Again (x5)
Again (x5)

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station

It's like you said, it's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
(x2)

I can talk what I want, how I wanna (x3)
I don't have to talk taste for you, Mama
No, no

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)

It's the voodoo, Mississippi south
69 million stars
Birds are flying out of my mouth
Spirits creeping in my yard

Hold my head, it's tilting back
Something dancing me around
Putting crystals on my neck
Lifting my feet off the ground

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)
(x2)

Oh, see, what you've done now
Oh, me, that's what i'm talking about
Oh, me, what you've done
Oh, me, it's what i'm talking 'bout
It's what I'm talking 'bout, it's what I'm talking about

Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll down, you've got it going on
Let me talk on your CV1
Let me play with your new shotgun

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)
(x2)
 
(Ray-ray-ray-raise me up
I can talk what I want how I wanna (x3)
I don't have to talk taste for you, Mama)

I look for you in magazines
I look for you in magazines
I look for you in magazines
I'm taking off my wedding ring

I gave you everything
I gave you everything

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

I'm going back to Arbor Dean
I'm going back to Arbor Dean
I'm going back to Arbor Dean
Where when I was a beauty queen

I wasn't anything
It wasn't anything

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

I'm waving on the silver screen
I'm waving on the silver screen
I'm waving on the trampoline
I'm waving on the silver screen

The film is fading, look at me, yeah (x3)
The film is fading, look at me, look at me

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites

Oh say, can you see my stars?
The night time is almost ours
To wander through alleys and look at the bars
Night time is almost ours

The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face then leave me the dark.
The voice of Nirvana says "Come as You Are"
And I will
The night time is almost ours

The sway of the hips and arms
Will cradle you from afar
They swing 'til you're tired and send you to Mars
Night time is almost ours

There was a drive-by, Sunday night
Most of us were in bed, alright
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens interrupt the silence

Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime, commit a crime, commit a crime?

He was a nice guy, really bright
Making money's hard to do right
Guilty was his plight
Now he's in a jail cell for some thirty years now

Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time, serving time, serving time?

K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free even though it's not me

Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind, me behind, me behind?

Last year, they decided
That his time was up and then he got retried
Double homicide
Sent him onto death row, not to hang around, though

Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die?

Well, there is something about watching a crime
That makes me wanna go out and make it all mine
There's something about seeing you fight
That makes me wanna go out tonight

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease to fall into
Yeah, it's true

There's something about seeing him die
That puts it all into perspective
And I wanna stay home, be left alone
Someone make my mind up so I don't have to decide

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease to fall into
Yeah, I do

There's some reason why I can't sit still
Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled
I try to lie down, but I don't know how
Baby, when I'm sleeping, if it's less like I am dreaming
Oh my god

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease
It's got me down on my knees

There's a fear I have of feeling real bad
I'm fine now if I find out that I'm not, I'll be sad
I try to quiet the thoughts in the night
Oh, they got me thinking I'd be happier just drinking
It's not true

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease
It's got me down on my knees
I got a bad disease
Will no one help me please?
Not even you?

Little bits and pieces fall into the corners
Box of broken leases, lined up in an order
I’ll do what you tell me, we can have it your way
I’ll tell you your future, you tell me your story

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Smiles from the stranger seem to change your day when
You were just about to go and throw your towel in
Lately, I’ve been thinking about making changes
It’s been on my mind for some time and I’m anxious

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Scowling like the sunshine set on Sarasota
Happy like a twister over Oklahoma
Clear as Penny Mason lying in a coma
This is how I feel when all my hurt is over

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Meet me in the morning, wrap your arms around me
Tell me that it’s over now that you have found me
Walk me to the river, see the willow bowing
Carry me into the water, now we’re drowning

We’re going out with a bang (x3)
We’re gonna go home again

Met you in front of a diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from LA but you were all there
You were alright

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather, of a feather

You also take pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you’re so fun

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

You don’t think I’m that strange, you’re so weird
That’s cause you’re so queer, but who’s not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze

So many people think that you have it together
But they don’t see you crying in the shower
But I can make you better

'Cause you make me better, yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
