Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The best song wasn't the single
But you weren't either
Living in Ladera Heights
The black Beverly Hills
Domesticated paradise
Palm trees and pools
The water's blue, swallow the pill
[PreChorus]
Keeping it surreal
Whatever you like
Whatever feels good
Whatever takes you mountain high
Keeping it surreal
Not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
Grape vine, mango, peaches, and lime
A sweet life
[PreChorus]
A sweet life, sweet life
A sweet life, sweet life
A sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet life
A sweet life, a sweet life
Sweetie pie
[Chorus]
You've had a landscaper and a housekeeper
Since you were born
The sunshine always kept you warm
So why see the world
When you got the beach?
Don't know why see the world
When you got the beach
The sweet life
[Verse 2]
The best song wasn't the single
But you couldn't turn your radio down
Satellite need a receiver
Can't seem to turn the signal fully off
Transmitting the waves
You're catching that breeze till you're dead in the grave
[PreChorus]
But you're keeping it surreal
Whatever you like
Whatever feels good
Whatever takes you mountain high
Keeping it surreal
Not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
Grape vines, mango, peaches, and lime
A sweet life
[PreChorus]
A sweet life
A sweet life, yeah
A sweet life, a sweet life
A sweet life
Live and die in the life
[Chorus]
You've had a landscaper and a housekeeper
Since you were born, yeah
The starshine always kept you warm
So why see the world
When you got the beach?
Don't know why see the world
When you got the beach
[Bridge]
And the water is exactly what I wanted
It's everything I thought it'd be
But this neighborhood is gettin' trippier everyday
Neighborhood is going ape shit crazy
[Chorus]
You've had a landscaper and a housekeeper
Since you were born
The starshine always kept you warm
So why see the world
When you got the beach?
Don't know why see the world
When you got the beach
The sweet life
