Ariel Pink
Hong Kong (Lady of Love)
[Verse 1]
I’m used to living
Black magic in black denim
I’m Murakami
With fever dreams
For fast women
The world spin
I send ‘em back
For days
Cinematic, we sailing back
In eighty-nine, fine
Past the maze
I pass the days by, dunny
But, I don’t pass the haze
Astor Place
Mixtape terror
I need a change of pace
Gimme money
Gimme dope lines
Or a lasting place
Ask ‘em, if they clap me
Would anybody be
Asked to pray
I shake the city up
Bitches is looking pretty
In Gloria Vanderbilt
Silk linens
They never get me
Never feel me, nah
Put it on ‘em anyway
Anyone understand
The sky
Dogon tribe
Seen it like everyday
I stare into dagguerrotypes
And looking back it’s a short step up to terabytes
Yeah, I’m still hella-nice
Lush vida, tell it right
Thinking of home
I don’t remember
What I said before
They took me alone
I’m gone
[Chorus]
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Yes you're calling
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Hotel Lucky For You
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Lady of Love
Lady of Love

[Verse 2]
Yo
This ain’t a heavy grind
It’s just a battle for
Honeydips and for making time
And just to make it mine
I spit the rhymes heavenly, black
Forever repping
Inevitably with
Elegant raps
Spinning the stacks
When the Gods come to
Snatch me up
The black smoke
In the four door
Gon’ wrap me up
And if it isn’t
Then Hale-Bopp gon’
Clap me up
Taking my time
Blue keds
Foot of the bed
Plus he waiting to ride
I’m just a born sinner
Bread winner
Baton spinner
Sipping bitters
While I’m watching the Earth
Spin into winter
Finna turn summer magic
Atticus Finch tragic
If I never write again
I’ll be happy I ever had it
At the bar sipping coke and rum
Plus, every heart is a
Broken drum
Puffing on a cigarette
To choke my lungs
Hope the sun
See what futures
Could come in dreams
My team
Rocksteady
Eveready
Clocking the cream
Plus it seems
Like it was all so simple
When a wrinkle in time
On instrumentals
Is everything that I been through
Everytime I rap-a-lot
Cannibal Ox
To Camelot
Praying the jam is hot
But everything
That expand a lot
Is lost and gone
Crack era
Boom-bap era
Or trap era
Imma stack cheddar
Repping forever
Yo, it’s
Lushlife swisher and timbs
Sip on a Pimm’s Cup
Ready when they tell me to
Spin
Sowing my sins up
[Chorus]
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Yes you're calling
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Hotel Lucky For You
Hong Kong Lady of Love
Lady of Love
Lady of Love
