Brooklyn Baby

歌曲背景

在這首歌曲中，Lana Del Rey取笑和慶祝了時髦的亞文化，並借鑑他們一些陳詞濫調如“Brooklyn”、“Millennials”。

Lana Del Rey說這是她和Lou Reed在心裡創作的一首歌，她應該和他一起去紐約製作這首歌曲，但當Lana到達紐約時，他去世了。

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the seventies

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like

Beat poetry on Amphetamines

I say

Well, my boyfriend's in the band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

They say I'm too young to love you

You say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book

By the colors, like they forgot to read

I think we're like fire and water

I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burning up, I'm cooling down

You're up, I'm down

You're blind, I see

But I'm free

Ooh, I'm free

Well, my boyfriend's in the band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair
