Sitar 22,193 Posted October 13, 2012 You taste like the fourth of July Malt liquor on your breath, my-my I love you but I don't know why You can be be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Taste like a keg party back on the sauce I like you a lot, I like you a lot, don't let it stop You can be the boss daddy, you can be the boss Bad to the bone, sick as a dog You know that I like, I like you a lot, don't let it stop Had a cigarette with his number on it He gave it over to me, "Do you want it?" Knew it was wrong, but I palmed it I saved it, I waited, I called it The liquor on your lips, the liquor on your lips, The liquor on your lips makes you dangerous I knew it was wrong, I'm beyond it I tried to be strong but I lost it You taste like the fourth of July Malt liquor on your breath, my-my You can be be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Taste like a keg party back on the sauce I like you a lot, I like you a lot, don't let it stop You can be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Bad to the bone, sick as a dog Know that I like, I like you a lot, don't let it stop He has a white Corvette like I wanted A fire in his eyes, know I saw it He's bleeding from his brain and his wallet He's sick and he's taken, but honest The liquor on your lips, the liquor on your lips, The liquor on his lips I just can't resist As close as I'll get to the darkness He tells me to shut up I got this You taste like the fourth of July Malt liquor on your breath my my You can be be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Taste like a keg party back on the sauce I like you a lot, I like you a lot, don't let it stop You can be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Bad to the bone, sick as a dog Know that I like, I like you a lot, don't let it stop I need you, I need you, babe Like I never needed anyone You're wrong but you're so much fun You said you treat them mean to keep them keen, you're not that nice But you taste like the fourth of the July Malt liquor on your breath, my-my You can be be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Taste like a keg party back on the sauce I like you a lot, I like you a lot, don't let it stop Don't let it stop You can be the boss, daddy, you can be the boss Bad to the bone, sick as a dog You know that I like, I like you a lot, don't let it stop Don't let it stop 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ednafrau 831 Posted October 13, 2012 i had never understood this part! "He's sick and he's taken, but honest" ...something else for her "other woman" background, i guess? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoopiedoo 442 Posted March 22, 2014 Isn't it "Knew it was wrong, but I pawned it" ? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mind Melt 10,094 Posted March 22, 2014 Isn't it "Knew it was wrong, but I pawned it" ? Not likely, because who would pawn a cigarette with someone's phone number, and who would take it? And also because the next line is "I saved it" 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greaser Prince 200 Posted March 26, 2014 I am SURE it's "BUMMED IT". that's what you do when you ask someone for a cigarette, you bum it. 1 Quote I am a shark, beware of my bark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilentity 13,321 Posted March 27, 2014 I am SURE it's "BUMMED IT". that's what you do when you ask someone for a cigarette, you bum it.But she didn't ask for the cigarette, he offered. She took it, or "palmed it". I'm pretty sure I hear a 'P' not a 'B' and the vowel sound is definitely an "aw" not an "uh" sound. Plus it rhymes with "called it". 1 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longtimeman 8,773 Posted December 3, 2014 I couldn't love this song more, a great tune and one of Lana's best Sober Anthems. Does anyone have any thoughts on the line "He's bleeding from his brain and his wallet"? Does it just mean that he's acting like an idiot and throwing money around, or does it have some other meaning? Whatever, I hope this makes it onto the tenth anniversary super deluxe edition of Born To Die. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Whore 50,273 Posted May 4, 2022 Had a cigarette with his number on it He gave it over to me, "Do you want it?" These lyrics say so much, i'm not sure if anyone's talked about this, but i need to. she knew it would be short lived, like a cigarette and he's as toxic as a cigarette, which she's making the choice her own in taking it, of course it later describes the toxicity, when he tells her to "shup up, i got this" but it's interesting how early she's building up this toxic role that she clearly is blaming herself for making the decision to be in the relationship 1 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever, I hope this makes it onto the tenth anniversary super deluxe edition of Born To Die. This question was posed quite a while ago, still I wanted to offer my interpretation. I think it quite simply means he is very smart and filthy rich. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quelqu'un a-t-il une idée sur la phrase " Il saigne du cerveau et de son portefeuille" ? Cela signifie-t-il simplement qu'il agit comme un idiot et qu'il gaspille de l'argent, ou cela a-t-il une autre signification ? Quoi qu’il en soit, j’espère que cela figurera dans l’édition super deluxe du dixième anniversaire de Born To Die. peut etre que saigner signifie douleur et est partiellementt soulagée par l'alcool 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
