Someone is blasting that song
I remember the first time I heard it
In Forever 21 in Las Vegas in the mall
Inside Caesars Palace, across from the
Treasure Island where Ravi and I
Were staying on the 21st floor
I remember how he told me with
Excitement that he’d read on Reddit
How to bribe the concierge to get a
Better room, and he was going to try it.
He snuck a $20 bill under his card and
Marveled at how she made it disappear.
“Would you be interested in a free
Upgrade, Mr. and Mrs. S.?” I secretly
Loved it when they called me by
His last name.
Now my body filled up with the
Voice of Lana Del Rey as I searched
For the perfect necklace for the club
Instantly, I was in love. I went back
To the hotel and the pool party below
Was blasting a dubstep version of
The same song when R came back.
“I heard this song earlier,” he said,
“And I’ve been dying to show it to you.
I knew you would love it.
What do you think?”
I thought it would be a good idea to
Make use of the fainting sofa placed
Right in front of the floor to ceiling
Window, well, we both wanted
To look out the window, so
I was on my hands and knees
Getting banged on the 21st floor
For all of Vegas to see while
Lana Del Rey repeatedly sang,
“Got my bad baby
By my heavenly side,
I know if I go,
I’ll die happy tonight.”
