Biography

American singer, songwriter, producer, artist and poet, born 21 June 1985 in New York City, New York, USA. Raised in Lake Placid, a small village in New York. In 2000, when she was fifteen, she was sent to Kent School in Connecticut to deal with her alcohol abuse. After graduating from high school in 2003, she spent a year living on Long Island. Being taught how to play guitar by her uncle, she began playing at nightclubs under various names such as "Sparkle Jump Rope Queen" and "Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena" with no real ambition to pursue music as a career. In the fall of 2004, she enrolled at Fordham University in New York where she studied metaphysics. Her time there was when her musical experience began. Between 2005 and 2009, she had several music projects including her works as May Jailer and [a=Lizzy Grant]. She finally released her first album, "[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/920392-Lana-Del-Ray-Lana-Del-Ray-AKA-Lizzy-Grant]A.K.A. Lizzy Grant[/url]" (2010), under the stage name Lana Del Ray – later changed to Lana Del Rey, with an 'e'. Over the years, over 200 of her songs – mostly demos and songs from the May Jailer/Lizzy Grant/Born To Die eras – have been leaked through a variety of media.

LYRICS

Play house, put my favorite record on
Get down, get your Crystal Method on
You were like, tall, tan, drivin' 'round the city
Flirtin' with the girls like, "You're so pretty."
"Springsteen is the king, don't you think?"
I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing."
Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Drive fast, I can almost taste it now
LA, I don't even have to fake it now
You were like so sick, everybody said it
You way ahead of the trend, ge-get it
Elvis is the best, hell yes
Honey put on that party dress, like
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

You make me crazy
You make me wild
Just like a baby
Spin me around like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Like an American
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody wants to go fast
But they cant compare
I dont really want the rest
Only you can take me there
I dont even know what Im saying
But Im praying for you

You make me crazy
You make me wild
Just like a baby
Spin me around like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young be dope be proud
Like an American
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Like an American
Oh oh oh oh oh
Like an American
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Like an american
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Like an american.
