Video Interlude: Ride (Intro) - Lana Del Rey

I was in the winter of my life

And the men I met along the road

Were my only summer

At night I fell asleep

With visions of myself dancing

And laughing and crying with them

Three years down the line of being

On an endless world tour

And my memories of them

Were the only things that sustained me

And my only real happy times

I was a singer

Not a very popular one

I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet

But upon an unfortunate series

Of events saw those dreams dashed

And divided like a million

Stars in the night sky

That I wished on over and over again

Sparkling and broken

But I didn't really mind because

I knew that it takes getting everything you

Ever wanted and then losing it

To know what true freedom is

When the people I used to know found out

What I had been doing

How I had been living

They asked me why

But there's no use in talking

To people who have a home

They have no idea what it's

Like to seek safety in other people

For home to be wherever you lie your head

I was always an unusual girl

My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul

No moral compass pointing due north

No fixed personality

Just an inner indecisiveness

That was as wide and as wavering as the ocean

And if I said I didn't plan for it

To turn out this way I'd be lying

Because I was born to be the other woman

Who belonged to no one

Who belonged to everyone

Who had nothing

Who wanted everything

With a fire for every experience

And an obsession for freedom

That terrified me to the point

That I couldn't even talk about it

And pushed me

To a nomadic point of madness

That both dazzled and dizzied me
