Lyrics Blue banisters Lana Del Rey

Blue banisters

There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere
Johnny handed me a beer, said "How the hell did you get there?"
Oh, Oklahoma, mhm, hm
There was flowers that were dry sittin' on the dresser
She asked me where they from, I said "A place I don't remember"
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm
Jenny jumped into the pool, she was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
She said "Most men don't want a woman with a legacy at our age"
She said "You can't be amused, be happy 'til you can't"
Lock in the pages with Russian poetry and be where you be
And I scared me, 'cause I met a man who said he'd come back every May
Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
Blue banisters, oh
Said he'd fix my weather vane
Give me children, take away my pain
And paint my banisters blue
My banisters blue

There's a hole that's in my heart
All my women try and heal
They're doin' a good job
Convincin' me that it's not real
It's heat lightnin', oh-uh
'Cause there's a man that's in my past
There's a man that's still right here
He's real enough to touch in my darkest nights
He's shining, ooh-oh
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
I wish that it would rain
I said the power of us three
Can do absolutely anything
Except that one thing
The diamonds, the rust and the rain
The thing that washes away the pain
But that's okay, 'cause

Now when weather turns to May
All my sisters come to paint
My banisters green
My blue banisters grey
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
Jake is runnin' barefeet, there's a baby on the way
And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah

Summer comes, Winter goes
Spring I skip, God knows
Summer comes, Winter goes
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows
Every time it turns to May
All my sisters fly to me
To paint, paint
