"The Greatest" lyrics
"The Greatest"
I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe
I miss dancing with you the most of all
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go
Dennis' last stop before Kokomo
Those nights were on fire
We couldn't get higher
We didn't know that we had it all
But nobody warns you before the fall
And I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess I'm signing off after all
I miss New York and I miss the music
Me and my friends, we miss rock 'n' roll
I want shit to feel just like it used to
When, baby, I was doing nothing the most of all
The culture is lit, and if this is it, I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all
I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess that I'm burned out after all
If this is it, I'm signing off
Miss doing nothing the most of all
Hawaii just missed that fireball
L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot
Kanye West is blond and gone
"Life on Mars?" ain't just a song
I hope the live stream's almost on
Thanks to Felicia for correcting these lyrics.

'The Greatest' is the sixth single off of the album. The song was released simultaneously with the album's fifth single, 'Fuck It I Love You', on the 22nd of August 2019.
'Kanye West is blond and gone' is a reference to him with bleached-blond hair and his meeting with President Trump in the White House. Lana Del Rey explained to The New York Times, "...I'm grateful to be in a country where everyone can have their own political views. I'm really not more of a liberal than I am a Republican - I'm in the middle. But it was more like the mood and the vibe around, 'Yo, this man is the greatest! Really? The greatest?' It hurt me. Did I have to say anything? No. But it's more just a line that represents a lot of things."
'The Greatest' is the second part of the
double music video for 'Fuck It I Love You / The Greatest'.

Clairo - "Alewife" In Massachusetts, only 30 minutes from Alewife

Wonderin' why I've got this life

The only face in the crowd that I knew

We were safe as the years flew by
