Venice Bitch
Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fear fun, fear love
Fresh out of fucks, forever
Tryin' to be stronger for you
Ice cream, ice queen
I dream in jeans and leather
Life's dream, I'm sweet for you

Oh God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss

You're in the yard, I light the fire
And as the summer fades away
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work
You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made

Give me Hallmark
One dream, one life, one lover
Paint me happy and blue
Norman Rockwell
No hype under our covers
It's just me and you

Oh God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out, bang bang, kiss kiss

You're in the yard, I light the fire
And as the summer fades away
Nothing gold can stay
You write, I tour, we make it work
You're beautiful and I'm insane
We're American-made

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss

Oh god, want you on my lips (I do, I do)
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
(Signin' off, bang bang, kiss kiss)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Young baby is back in town now
You should come, come over
We'll be hanging around now
You should come, come over

Oh God, I love him on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
Touch me with your fingertips
It's me, your little Venice bitch

Ba-back in the garden
We're getting high now, because we're older
Me, myself, I like diamonds
My baby, crimson and clover

(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
Everything, whatever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
Everything, whatever

Back in the garden
We're getting high now, because we're older
Me, myself, I like diamonds
My baby, crimson and clover

Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Crimson and clover, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over, honey
Over and over

If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I'd be
Jealous of your love

You are in the outdoors as I ignite a flame


And as the summer fades away
As summer finishes, changes occur


Nothing gold can stay
All good things must come to an end

Touch me with your fingertips
Please make physical contact with me


Ba-back in the garden
Returning to the outdoor space


We're getting high now, because we're older
We are using substances to seek a pleasurable experience due to aging


Me, myself, I like diamonds
I enjoy expensive jewelry


My baby, crimson and clover
My dear one is akin to a red tone and a plant


(La-la-la-la-la-la, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
A randomly placed melody


Oh, oh, oh, oh, whatever
An expression of apathy


Everything, whatever
Disinterest towards everything


Crimson and clover, honey
A repetition of a previous theme


Over and over, honey
Continually repeated


If you weren't mine, I'd be
If you were not in a relationship with me


Jealous of your love
I would have feelings of envy towards those with whom you had romantic involvement

She is immortal. Poetry outlives the poet.

@nickpagano7134

Lol it's just the same chorus repeated over and over. She has less than half the talent of Joanna Newsom

@chasnhs81

She is fucking amazing and inspiring!
