"Video Games" lyrics
"Video Games"
(originally by Lana Del Rey)
Swingin' in the backyard, pull up in your fast car, whistling my name
Open up a beer, say "Get over here" and play a video game
I'm in his favorite sundress, watching me get undressed, take that body downtown
I say, "You're the bestest", lean in for a big kiss, put your favorite perfume on
"Go play your video game"
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
And I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
But baby, now you do
Singing in the old bars, swinging with the old stars, living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark, playing pool and wild darts, video games
He holds me in his big arms, drunk and I'm seeing stars, this is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall, in and out of Old Paul's, this is my idea of fun
We're playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
And I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
But baby, now you do
Mhm
Baby, now you do
Mmm
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
And I heard that you like the bad girls, honey
Is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
But baby, now you do

Trixie Mattel explained ConsequenceOfSound.net the inspiration behind her rendition of
Lana Del Rey's "Video Games",
"The first is 'Kill Bill Vol. 2' — a big sweeping epic revenge story with a gritty western flavor. When I started working on my own version of 'Video Games', I started with my autoharp. The harp let me borrow the delicate sounds from Lana's version and make the new arrangement more Americana and metallic. The other film that inspired this track is 'Fantasia'. Really helped us establish the bouncy feel with robust, yearning lines."
