The Next Best American Record lyrics

Lana Del Rey

My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
To the Houses of the Holy
Smokin' on them cigarettes
My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
He was cool as heck
He was cool as heck

But you were so obsessed
With writing the next best American record
But there was nothing left by the time we got to bed
Baby, that's a shame
You were so obsessed
With writing the next best American record
You did it all for fame
You did it all for fame

You did it all for fame
Tell me how it treats you now
You did it all for fame
How does that taste coming out?
You did it all for fame
Baby, how's life treating you now?
It's over

My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
He was 70s in spirit, 90s in his frame of mind
My baby used to dance underneath my architecture
We lost track of space
We lost track of time

But you were so obsessed
With writing the next best American record
But there was nothing left by the time we got to bed
Baby, that's a shame
You were so obsessed
With writing the next best American record
You did it all for fame
You did it all for fame
(You know what I'm talking about)

You did it all for fame
Tell me how it treats you now
You did it all for fame
How does that taste coming out?
Now that you lost the game
Honey, how's life treating you now that it's over?
Baby, how you feeling now that I told you?

It's you
All the roads lead to you
Everything I want and do
All the things that I say
It's true
All the roads lead to you
Like the 405 I drive through
Every night and every day
I see you for who you really are
Why the thousands of girls love
The way Bill plays guitar?

You did it all for fame
Tell me how it treats you now
You did it all for fame
How does that taste coming out?
You did it all for fame
Honey, how you feeling now?
(How's life treating you now?)
That it's over
Baby, how's life treating you now that I told you?

Honey, how's it feeling now?
(Honey, how's it feeling? Honey, how's it feeling?)
I told you
(Honey, how's it feeling? Honey, how's it feeling?)
I told you
