♦ Jessica Lange - Gods & Monsters_ Lyrics

•Lyrics:
In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon

You got that medicine I need
Fame, Liquor, Love give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
Me and God, we don't get along so now I sing

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a messed up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
Oh yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly want
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Looking to get hit hard
Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer
Life imitates art

You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please
I don't really wanna know what's good for me
God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a messed up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
Oh yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly want
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy
Cause life imitates art
If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?
You tell me, "life isn't that hard"

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a messed up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
Oh yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly want
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

New life goals: to be as cool as Jessica Lange when I'm 60

[MirkodiWallenberg]

Jessica Lang's raspy voice with her German accent make this song AMAZING! 

[SystemFreaKk]

This scene literally gave me chills. Immaculate performance and direction; Mordrake's arrival was epic.

[Janjabjan]

The fact that she sang this in the accent of her character... God, she is amazing

[argive]

The moment I first heard this song I fell in love with it!

[crimsons_clover]

i love this version so much, when Edward Mordrake came in with all the green fog and you see Elsa silhouetted in the light she looks like an angel. Jesaica Lange, the Queen of Strange

[ronald]

Each version brings something to the table. Lana as the original writer brings an authenticity and emotion to the song which only she can understand. Ms. Lange offers her own storied and long life to bring a sense of wisdom and age to the song. There is no superior. Only different.

[meccajames]

Just an opinion, but I think that this version has more emotion and power behind it than the original, at least in the context of the show.

[kilssj]

Remember my darling Freaks...
Never rehearse on Halloween.
Never perform on Halloween.
Never.

[JovanLatte]

I love Lana Del Rey .  But I love Jessica's Voice in this specific cover . Like maybe every other Lana Song would be dumb by Jessica, but this specific song Fits Jessica's voice amazingly .

[yomomma]

This version of the song is much better. Jessica Lange brought this song to life.

[bad-xtian]

To think there is a universe in which Jessica Lange stayed for hotel and Roanoke

[lindo-geng]

I got the major chills watching this part of the show

[latgitbsgf]

this was my fave scene in season 4 so far..

[musiccompilator]

-plays this on halloween night.
-looks outside and sees green fog along with a man walking towards my home.
-opens big eyes and sees edward mordrake.
yup!

[SuperGeorgeGreek]

439 people are going to get a visit from Edward Mordrake

[IvanRuiz-cidz]

This song is just so hypnotizing to me, especially with Jessica Lange singing this

[arontamas]

I love Lana but Jessica's version is so much better! She's a living legend!!

[maggiecohen]

It’s really rude of the people in the show to say that elsa couldn’t sing cuz this is beautiful

[somecynic]

2:52 I love the subtle use of the theremin for the "ghostly affect" that goes really well with the song!
