Your Girl Lana

Hundred Dollar Bill (Demo and Final Version)

Recommended Posts

Demo lyrics in blue.



(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in silk.)

Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova
I have been dying for him to come over
I'm in my party dress
He says, "You're such a mess
I am the New Jersey dance queen
He is a gangster action king
He knows that I be selling my body
My man the best, 'cause he knows what's up
He knows it's a big bad world
He's knows that I'm a good girl
He understands of sale of self
'cause cash comes quicker when looks can kill

Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(x2)
(Twenty of them wrapped up tight in silk)

J. is a romantic roller coaster
He don't do anything he supposed to
I like them tough and mean
Jim is the worst that I've ever seen
I am the trailer park darling
He is the one-time comeback king
He knows that I be looking to die
He says baby pay respect to the high
He knows it's a big bad world
He's knows that I'm a good girl
He understands of sale of self
'Cause cash comes quicker when looks can kill

Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(Twenty of them wrapped up tight in silk)
(x2)

I like your ultra-violent swing
I like it when you treat me mean
You turn my mood from back to blue
(x2)
Ruby Tuesday's or Citco, I loved you then, you'll always now
I loved you then, you'll always know

(Twenty of 'em wrapped up tight in--)

Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(x2)
(Twenty of them wrapped up tight in silk)

Hundred dollar bill, hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
Nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill
(x2)
(Twenty of them wrapped up tight in silk)

(I need you, Jim
I need your love and...oh,yeah...)

Okay, can we bump this? Is it gangster action king, or construction king? Is it Ruby Tuesdays or Citco, or Citgo's, or "or sick oh"?

 

I was looking up Citco, assuming it's a restaurant like Ruby Tuesdays, but it doesn't exist. I assume she's saying Citgo, like the gas station, but I'm not sure.

Did anyone else thing that she's gonna rename this song as 'Ultraviolence' and that'll be the title song!? God, I have a whole lot of wishful thinking... </3

 

Anyway, the ultra-violent thing made me wonder...

 

That would be a dream come true. THIS SONG.......  :icant:  :icant:  :icant:

I always hear 'construction king', I suppose as his day job?

I am preeeeetty sure it's "construction king". It's what I hear when I listen to the song, plus the lyrics to it on a Lana wiki also say "construction king"

I thought this already was the consensus opinion on this lyric. I'm surprised it hasn't been changed already. But yeah, I'm pretty sure it's just another example of Lana stretching a word into more syllables than it really is: CON-ST-RUC-TION KING.

 

Generally speaking I think you'll find more reliable information on this forum than on any Lana wiki. But maybe not in this case.

Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

Wow so I just realized I've had the demo and final version of this song mixed up the entire time.  :facepalm:

 

I have been DMD'd again. Why does she insist on making these ultra-chill songs into upbeat chaos when they were already perfect  :horror:


Goddesses don't speak in whispers. They scream.
