Sitar Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 You’re like a fake diamond Sparkling when the lights are on But when the nighttime comes and all the lights go off You turn off with ‘em Where do you go when the lights turn low, boy? You’re like an old film reel, Kissing me when the crowd can watch But when the velvet falls and the projector coughs I can be sure you’re gone You say it’s not true, but I know how you do, boy I’m like a child who belongs to nobody So I’ll wear you like my clothes Hold you close to my body Because you hurt so good, feel so bad, honey I just want you to want me, want you to want me You’re like a fake diamond Sparkling in the moon and sun You shine like the only one but when the darkness comes Baby, you’re on the run Where do you go when the lights turn low, boy? You’re like my ex-boyfriend Kissing me when the camera’s on I’m candy for your arm, look like a debutante But I’m not what you want You say it’s not true but I know how you do, boy I’m like a child who belongs to nobody So I’ll wear you like my clothes Hold you close to my body Because you hurt so good, feel so bad, honey I just want you to want me, want you to want me (x2) You say it’s not true but I know how you do boy I’m like a child who belongs to nobody So I’ll wear you like my clothes Hold you close to my body Because you hurt so good, feel so bad, honey I just want you to want me, want you to want me (x2) 5 Quote
Guest MissDaytona Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I don't get her analogy of being like a fake diamond lol ..looks pretty on the surface but holds no value? 0 Quote
Sitar Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure that's exactly it, hahaha. Like, if you got cubic zirconia as opposed to a diamond. Only pretty, but fake. 1 Quote
IamThatGirlLily Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Without the melody, it's just so sad. I'm imagining Lana on the subway from NY to Coney Island writing those lines. Walking sad, walking errand. 2 Quote

teethclick Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Thank you for this! It's kinda hard for me to get into a song without knowing the lyrics so yeah thanks! And this song is really, really good. 0 Quote last.fm
Sitar Posted September 18, 2012 Author Posted September 18, 2012 I agree! And these lyrics were pretty clear for a Lana song, certainly no "Veuve Cliquot" or "Kiki Montparnasse" to decipher. 2 Quote
Madrigal Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 No year. No producer. No...anything. IN ORDER TO REACH THE FULLFILLMENT OF MY LIFE, I REQUIRE THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. FROM NOW ON, I WILL NOT LISTEN TO ANY SONG FOR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE INFO. Just kidding. I will just pine away out of confusion. 1 Quote

Guest Maru the Cat Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 ...I’ll wear you like my clothes Hold you close to my body I like this line. It reminds of a line from a Belle & Sebastian song, "If I could have a second skin, I'd probably dress up in you". :3 0 Quote
Sitar Posted September 18, 2012 Author Posted September 18, 2012 I like this line. It reminds of a line from a Belle & Sebastian song, "If I could have a second skin, I'd probably dress up in you". :3 That's phreakier than phuck, Maru. A smile just naturally comes to my face at the ex-boyfriend line. I love this song. 2 Quote

evilentity Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I agree! And these lyrics were pretty clear for a Lana song, certainly no "Veuve Cliquot" or "Kiki Montparnasse" to decipher. You forgot "Pomme Foraine, yeah" or whatever the fuck "Palmferania" really is. 1 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
godsmonster Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I've always had a love/hate relationship with this song. I love the verses, but the chorus is terrible. She should've re-written the chorus, especially the melody. The chorus melody just feels so out of place I feel like it was written and recorded around the same time as Hollywood's Dead 1 Quote

LanaFlowers Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 You forgot "Pomme Foraine, yeah" or whatever the fuck "Palmferania" really is. i still have no idea what the fuck she says there 0 Quote I'm kinda focused on being a baddie right now. I can't really work.
