West Coast
Lana Del Rey · Ultraviolence [Deluxe] [2014]
"If you're not drinking, then you're not playing"
But you've got the music, you've got the music in you
Don't you?
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling, like
It all could happen
That's why I'm leaving you for the moment, you for the moment
Boy blue
Yeah, you
You're feeling hard to push away, I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me and I wanna say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet
I'm alive, I'm a lush
Your love, your love, our love
I can see my baby swinging
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singin'
Oo, baby, oo, baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm sayin'
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love (I'm in love)
I'm in love (I'm in love)
Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons
And you got the music, you got the music in you
Don't you?
Down on the West Coast, they love their movies
Their golden gods and Rock and Roll groupies
And you got the music, you got the music in you
Don't you?
You push it hard, I pull away, I'm feeling hotter than fire
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that much higher
Te deseo, cariño, boy, it's you I desire
Your love, your love, our love
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singin'
Oo, baby, oo, baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm sayin'
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singin'
Oo, baby, oo, baby, I'm in love
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
On the balcony and I'm sayin'
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
West Coast - Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey's 'West Coast' serves as a haunting centerpiece on her 2014 album *Ultraviolence*, embodying the genre-defining blend of dream pop and neo-soul that characterized her early work. The track features a moody, atmospheric production style that complements Del Rey's signature vocal delivery, evoking the melancholic nostalgia often associated with her portrayal of 1950s Hollywood glamour and modern disillusionment. Released during a pivotal period in her career, the song reflects the album's broader themes of romantic decay and the fading allure of the American West. Its inclusion in the deluxe edition highlights its status as a key track within her discography, resonating with listeners who appreciate the emotional depth and cinematic quality of her music.
