"Paradise" (not to be confused with the alternate title for "Dark Paradise") is an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey.

Background

The track was recorded in the same sessions as "Serial Killer" and the second demo of "This is What Makes Us Girls" in March, 2011 and leaked on September 25, 2012. Despite the title, the song was not intended for Paradise as it was recorded before Del Rey secured her major label record deal that lead to Born to Die.

The title "Paradise" is registered twice, firstly as an alternate title of "Dark Paradise"[1] and secondly as a separate song crediting Del Rey, Ibsen and Justin Parker as writers.[2]

Cross-references

  • The song is referenced many times in many other songs, perhaps most notably "Dark Paradise".
  • Vanilla ice cream is also mentioned in both "Dynamite" and "Cola".

Lyrics

Ooh, ooh-ooh, what?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, that's dope,
Ooh, ooh-ooh, what?
Ooh, ooh-ooh.

Love you like I never loved anyone,
Keep me burning hot like a red, red sun.
Want you like I never wanted anyone,
You give it to me fast like free and fun.

Every time with you feels like I'm in summer,
I don't know why.
Maybe 'cause you're so cool, and keep it down on the real,
Like sugar, sugar fly.

Oh, you're sweet, like sugar cane,
Make me feel alive again.

I'm goin' down, down take you down to paradise.
(Rock you like a real bad baby)
La, love, lick you like vanilla ice.
(Back you up and make you crazy)

Shot, hot, give me what you got,
You can write my hot supersonic pop,
Goin' down, down, take you down to paradise.

Want you like I've never wanted anyone,
Got a face like God and a bod' like drawn.
Kiss you like I never kissed anyone,
'Cause you keep it really rough like "Oh my God"

Every time with you I can tell it's forever,
I don't know how.
And even if it's not, you know I couldn't stop,
You make my heart go "pow!"

Coming down like pouring rain,
Make me feel alive again.

I'm goin' down, down take you down to paradise.
(Rock you like a real bad baby)
La, love, lick you like vanilla ice.
(Back you up and make you crazy)

(Shot, shot, shot, shot),
Shot, hot, give me what you got,
You can write my hot supersonic pop,
Goin' down, down, take you down to paradise.
How do you like that, baby?

(Down, down, take you),
(Down to paradise).
(Down, down, take you),
(Down to paradise).
(Down, down, take you),
(Down to paradise).

Ooh, ooh-ooh, dope!
Ooh, ooh-ooh, that's sick!
Ooh, ooh-ooh, dope!
Ooh, ooh-ooh, that's sick!

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh).

Shot, hot, give me what you got,
You can can write my hot supersonic pop.

I'm goin' down, down take you down to paradise.
(Rock you like a real bad baby)
La, love, lick you like vanilla ice.
(Back you up and make you crazy)

(Shot, shot, shot, shot),
Shot, hot, give me what you got,
You can can write my hot supersonic pop.
Goin' down, down, take you down to paradise.
