Lana Del Rey - West Coast

Down on the West Coast they got a sayin'
If you're not drinkin' then you're not playin'.
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 flyin' high at push on,
I'm feelin' hot to the touch
You say you miss me, and I say
I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet,
I'm alive I'm a lush
Your love, your love, your love

I
can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, I'm in love

I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo lala
On the balcony and I'm saying
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 Saigon
And you've got the music,
You've 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've got the music,
You've 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, your love

I can see my baby swingin'
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, I'm in love

I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo lala
On the balcony and I'm saying
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 singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby, I'm in love

I can see my sweet boy swayin'
He's crazy y Cubano como yo lala
On the balcony and I'm saying
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love

"West Coast" speaks to the liveliness, freedom and romance of life on the West Coast. The chorus speaks to being in love and seeing the "baby" (the lover) swing and dance on the balcony, seemingly floating away from the weight of life's pressure as the Parliament's fire burns in the back. The song speaks to the time on the West Coast when there is no need to drink or put on a show, as the music within each individual is enough to satisfy the soul. The song is a nostalgic piece for those who have experienced the carefree life that the West Coast has to offer. It is the fifth track of Lana Del Rey's third studio album, Ultraviolence.
