Lana Del Rey — Blue Banisters

There's a picture on the wall Of me on a John Deere Jenny handed me a beer Said "How the hell did you get there?" Oh, Oklahoma Oh, mhm There were flowers that were dry Sittin' on the dresser She asked me where they're from I said "A place I don't remember" Oh, Oklahoma Oh, mhm Jenny jumped into the pool She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane She said Most men don't want a woman With a legacy at our age She said You can't be a muse And be happy too You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry And be happy And that scared me 'Cause I met a man who Said he'd come back every May Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue Blue banisters, oh Said he'd fix my weathervane Give me children, take away my pain And paint my banisters blue My banisters blue There's a hole that's in my heart All my women try and heal They're doin' a good job Convincin' me that it's not real It's heat lightnin', oh-oh-uh, uh 'Cause there's a man that's in my past There's a man that's still right here He's real enough to touch In my darkest nights He's shining Ooh-ooh-ooh Jenny was smokin' by the pool We were writin' with Nikki Lane I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires I wish that it would rain I said the power of us three Can bring absolutely anything Except that one thing The diamonds, the rust and the rain The thing that washes away the pain But that's okay, 'cause Now when weather turns to May All my sisters come to paint My banisters green My blue banisters grey Tex and Mex are in the Bay Chucky's makin' birthday cake Jake’s runnin' barefeet, there's a baby on the way And now my blue banisters are green and grey Ah-ha Summer comes, Winter goes Spring I skip, God knows Summer comes, Winter goes Spring I sleep, Heaven knows Every time it turns to May All my sisters fly to me To paint, paint
