Lyrics:
[Produced by Dan Auerbach] [Written by Lana Del Rey and Rick Nowels] [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] You're falling hard, I push away, I'm feelin' 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, my love [Chorus] I can see my baby swinging 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 swaying He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la 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) [Post-Chorus] (Mic-check) (One, two) (Two, two) (Get it, girl) [Verse 2] Down on the West coast, they got their icons Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons 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 'n' Roll groupies And you've got the music You've got the music in you, don't you? [Pre-Chorus 2] 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, my love [Chorus] I can see my baby swinging 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 swaying He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la On the balcony and I'm saying Move, baby, move, baby, I'm in love [Chorus] I can see my baby swinging 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 swaying He's crazy y cubano como yo, la-la On the balcony and I'm saying Move, baby, move, baby, I'm in love [Outro] I'm in love I'm in love
