Queen of Disaster
Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me sparkling just like an emerald.
Set my soul on fire, make me wild,
Like the deep blue sea.
No other boy ever made me feel beautiful,
When I'm in your arms, feels like I have it all,
Is it your tattoos or golden grill,
Got me spinning like a ballerina,
Feelin' gangsta everytime I see ya',
You're the king and, baby,
I'm the queen of disaster, disaster.
You got me spinning like a ballerina,
You the bad boy that I always dreamed of,
You're the king and, baby,
I'm the queen of disaster, disaster.
Got mascara thick, I get emotional
You know I was more than just a party girl.
Isn't hard to see what's goin' on,
I'm so far gone, (mm, so far gone)!
When I saw your face it was incredible,
Painted on my soul, it was indelible.
('Cause you're the one) who celebrate,
Our twisted fate, we're the broken ones,
Got me spinning like a ballerina,
Feelin' gangsta everytime I see ya',
You're the king and, baby,
I'm the queen of disaster, disaster.
You got me spinning like a ballerina,
You the bad boy that I always dreamed of,
You're the king and, baby,
I'm the queen of disaster, disaster.
Ladies and gentlemen,
For the very first time!
You got me spinning like a ballerina,
Feelin' gangsta everytime I see ya',
You're the king and, baby,
I'm the queen of disaster, disaster.
You got me spinning like a ballerina,
You the bad boy that I always dreamed of,
You're the king and I'm the,
Beauty queen of disaster, disaster.

Amazing how the film maker lifted the filming of this video directly from the Chet Baker documentary Let's Get Lost - black & white hanging at the beach and cruising in the backs of convertables
