Keepin' Up (Original Song)

Keepin' Up (Original Song)

A Poem by Jinx King
"

Written for Lana Del Rey, but since I probably won't ever pitch it to her/contact her reps, I'm posting it here. Enjoy!

Eyes like violets

face like fire

You’re such a dick babe and do ya got a lighter?

Mouth like whiskey

Hot on my tongue

you look like a bad dream to me

 

Can you keep up with the cool kids baby

Can you run with me like a fool now baby

I know you think you’re hot

but let’s not

act

like you

don’t got a clue

You know

Very well

That You don’t got

a f*****g idea

My point of view ain’t that f*****g ideal

I know you think you’re

runnin’ with the king

But i’m about to let you peak beneath my skin

 

it ain’t all gold babe

It isn’t divine

I’m runnin through the jungle

they’re swinging in on vines

 

We’re not invincible

you and I

we’re so fragile

 

So can you keep up with the cool kids baby

Can you run with me like a fool now baby

I know you think i’m strong

but let’s not Act

like i’m not runnin for my life

 

Cause i run every night

Hell on my heels

Drugs on my breath

I know you think you’ve caught a glimpse

Know me better than anyone

But you don’t know what i’ve done

Or what i’ve become

 

‘but you

got eyes like violets

You got a face like fire

You’re such a b***h man

But damn do you can spark my fire

Mouth like whiskey

taste of heaven

 

I promise babe i know how to

Make you feel better

You look like a bad dream to me

You look like

You look like

You look like the thing that

Makes me wanna stay asleep

You look like a bad dream to me
