The Man I Love

Lana Del Rey · Other Songs - Lana Del Rey

All that's real to me,

Is Marilyn and Jesus.

Jumping off'a bridges,

Sparklers and streamers.

Honey, I wanna fly,

I wanna fly, I wanna fly.

All that's real to me,

Is Halloween and Jesus,

Coney Island beaches,

Chandeliers and seizures.

Honey, I wanna fly,

I wanna fly, I wanna fly.

I can't be with the man I love,

I can't be if he treats me rough.

I can't see him, I can't call him up.

All that's real to me,

Is trailer parks and beaches,

Alabama freezes,

Platinum impeaches.

Honey, I wanna fly,

I wanna fly, I wanna fly.

All that's real to me,

Is Halloween and Jesus,

Coney Island beaches,

Chandeliers and seizures.

Honey, I wanna fly,

I wanna fly, I wanna fly.

I can't be with the man I love,

I can't be if he treats me rough.

I can't see him, I can't call him up.

All that's real to me,

Is Marilyn and Jesus.

Jumping off'a bridges,

Sparklers and streamers.

I can't be with the man I love,

I can't be if he treats me rough.

I can't see him, I can't call him up.
