"Run Motorcycle" is the tentative name given to an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey. It is unknown if a studio version exists.
Background[]
The song leaked on June 1, 2019, as part of an a cappella session done by Del Rey in 2008.[1] It leaked along with a cappella demos of "Ben" and "You're Gonna Love Me". The three files contained metadata that placed them in the same album, with the cover art a photo of Del Rey taken by Sheana DeBourke in a friend's home studio on the day of the session.
The song references and partially features an unleaked song titled "Vacation".
Lyrics[]
Ok, ok
Ok, folks
(Look at that dress)
Kevin got me this dress
Did you hear my song called "Vacation"?
Sex, coffee, money, and dresses
Sex, coffee, money, and dresses
Vacation, vacación
Vacation, vacatión
A-da-da-da-da
That's what this reminds me of
One time last year, I went up to Asbury Park by the ocean
With these guys, Vinny and Nick
And it was fun, 'cause it was the first time I was going away
But - -ong was the only good thing that came out of it
(- for free, but not for nothing)
Oh, I like that
Hmm, hmm
What do you think, you think I should start this one up here
Which is hm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Or hm-mm-mm-mm-mm?
(Alternate them)
Hm-mm-mm
(Right?)
Yeah
(A gemini doesn't have to choose)
Ok
This is stupid, this whole sober thing
This is stupid, this whole sober-
This is stupid, this whole sober thing
All the boys worth meeting like to drink
This is stupid, this whole music thing
I'm burnt out and I don't wanna sing
But I got nothing better up my sleeve
If life can't be fun, then I guess I'll have to leave
I said, "Run, motorcyle, run"
"Run, motorcyle, run"
And my lovely flowers in my hair
Do you love me? You, yes, over there
Everybody ask me who I am
And I'm nobody, I'm only a man
And I got nothing better up my sleeve
And if life can't be fun, then I guess I have to leave
So I say, "Run, motorcyle, run"
"Run, motorcyle, run"
"Run, motorcyle, run, run, run"
"Run, motorcyle, run"
