Tropico is a thirty-minute film created by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey to the music from her album “Paradise“, which also stars her alongside Shaun Ross. The songs featured in the video are “Bel Air”, “Body Electric”, and “Gods and Monsters”.

Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother,
Jesus is my bestest friend.
We don’t need nobody 'cause we got each other,
Or at least I pretend

We get down every Friday night
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry, we're feelin’ alright
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind
(So don't worry about)


I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
I’m on fire, sing that body electric

Whitman is my daddy, Monaco’s my mother
Diamonds are my bestest friend
Heaven is my baby, suicide’s her father
Opulence is the end

We get down every Friday night
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry, we're feelin’ alright
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind
(So don't worry about)

I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
I’m on fire, sing that body electric

My clothes still smell like you,
And all the photographs say, that we’re still young.
I pretend I’m not hurt,
I go about the world like I’m havin’ fun.
We get crazy every Friday night,
I drop it like it’s hot in the pale moonlight.
Grand Ole Opry, feelin' all right
Mary's swayin’ softly, to her heart's delight

I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
Sing the body electric
I’m on fire, sing that body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric, baby

[Dialogue]

In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon

You got that medicine I need
Fame, Liquor, Love give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
Me and God, we don't get along so now I sing

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
'Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want'
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Looking to get fucked hard
Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer
Life imitates art

You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please
I don't really wanna know what's good for me
God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
'Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want'
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me
Crazy
Cause life imitates art
If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?
You tell me, "life isn't that hard"

No one's gonna take my soul away
I'm living like Jim Morrison
Headed towards a fucked up holiday
Motel sprees sprees and I'm singing
'Fuck yeah give it to me this is heaven, what I truly
Want'
It's innocence lost
Innocence lost

[Dialogue]

Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate.
Trying to tell me to wait,
But I can’t wait to see you.

So I run like I'm mad to heaven's door.
I don't wanna be bad,
I won't cheat you no more.

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Spotlight, bad baby, you've got a flair
For the violentest kind of love anywhere out there

Mon amour, sweet child of mine,
You're divine.
Didn't anyone ever tell you
It's OK to shine?

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night.
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby.

Don't be afraid of me, don't be ashamed.
Walk in the way of my soft resurrection.
Idol of roses, iconic soul. I know your name.
Lead me to war with your brilliant direction.

Roses, Bel Air, take me there,
I've been waiting to meet you.
Palm trees in the light,
I can sleep late at night.
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you,
Come to me, baby

Roses, Bel Air, take me there
I've been waiting to meet you
Grenadine sunshine, can you fade inside of mine
Darling, I'm waiting to greet you
Come to me, baby
