Share my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
Did what I had to do
'Cause it's so far past me now
Share my body and my life with you
That's way over now
There's not more I can do
You're so famous now
Got your Bible, got your gun
And you like to party and have fun
And I like my candy and your women
I'm finally happy now that you're gone
With my little red party dress on
Everybody knows that I'm the best, I'm crazy
Get a little bit of bourbon in ya
Get a little bit suburban and go crazy
Beause you're young, you're wild, you're free
You're dancin' circles around me
You're fuckin' crazy
Ohh, you're crazy for me
I shared my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
I did what I had to do
I found another anyhow
Share my body and my mind with you
That's all over now
I did what I had to do
I could see you leaving now
I got your Bible and your gun
And you love to party and have fun
And I love your women and all of your heroin
And I'm so happy now that you're gone
With my little red party dress on
Everybody knows that I'm a mess, I'm crazy, yeah
Get a little bit of bourbon in ya
Go a little bit suburban and go crazy
Yeah, yeah
Because you're young, you're wild, you're free
You're dancin' circles around me
You're fuckin' crazy
Ohh, ohh, you're crazy for me

Cruel World - Lana Del Rey
From the 2014 album Ultraviolence, 'Cruel World' stands as a defining track in Lana Del Rey's evolution toward a darker, more atmospheric sound. The song exemplifies her signature blend of cinematic production and melancholic vocals, exploring themes of urban decay and emotional exhaustion. Released during a pivotal era in her career, the recording reflects the influence of 1950s film noir and the broader post-punk revival that characterized her work at the time. With its haunting melody and brooding tone, the track has become a staple of her discography, capturing the essence of a modern romanticism steeped in nostalgia and disillusionment.
