Not to be confused with the classic Iggy Pop song and album of the same name, the title track from Lana Del Rey’s fifth studio album, “Lust For Life” captures the essence of both Lana and Abel’s will to live. The moments when the two are doing what they love, with whom they love, remind them that li...
[Intro: Lana Del Rey]
Oh
[Verse 1: Lana Del Rey]
Climb up the H of the Hollywood sign (Yeah)
In these stolen moments, the world is mine
There's nobody here, just us together
Keepin' me hot like July forever
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls
There's no way for us to come late
'Cause, boy, we're gold, boy, we're gold
And I was like
[Pre-Chorus: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd]
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain't right
'Cause we're having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd]
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
(Then)
[Verse 2: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey & The Weeknd]
We dance on the H of the Hollywood sign (Yeah)
'Til we run out of breath, gotta dance 'til we die
My boyfriend's back (Oh-oh) and he's cooler than ever (Woah)
There's no more night, blue skies forever
'Cause we're the masters of our own fate
We're the captains of our own souls
So there's no need for us to hesitate
We're all alone, let's take control
And I was like
[Pre-Chorus: The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey]
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just ain't right
'Cause we're havin' too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd]
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Oh
[Bridge: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey & The Weeknd]
My boyfriend's back and he's cooler than ever
There's no more night, blue skies forever
I told you twice in our love letter
There's no stopping now, green lights forever
And I was like
[Pre-Chorus: Lana Del Rey]
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all your clothes
Take off, take off, take off all of your clothes
[Chorus: Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd]
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
And a lust for life (And a lust for life)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Keeps us alive (Keeps us alive)
Oh
