I think she's said "pale moonlight" a lot? I can only think of two songs that have that phrase though.

 

Summertime Sadness:

Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight

Body Electric:

Dancing and grinding in the pale moonlight.

or

drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight.

I was sitting and translating all of her songs one day (to Greek) and I was so bored to translate some lyrics again and again. The worst part was the America's sweetheart and the word 'baby' and 'boy'...lyrically :pft:
