Watsky, Gift of Gab, Mieka Pauley - Everything Turns Gold lyrics

When the sun sets on the city
It's something to behold
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
For now you're young and pretty
And you'll be lovely when you're old
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold

The frog in my throat was the size of a mutt
The fat toad ate the butterflies in my gut
The dog in me knows that it's
A bitch in dark black
So I spit the frog out and
I took my bark back
Till that I'd been afraid of night
My cradle never stayed in sight
It might have all abated if I played it right
I hated tryna find and face a
Place I didn't dare go
Diving with the worms and liking
Looking like a scarecrow
Do a mellow jig instead of
Tripping off a dollar
I'll just skip the yellow brick with
Wicker sticking out my collar
It's all or nothing I'll be
Cultured when I'm older fuck a parrot
I don't care I'll feed the
Vulture on my shoulder
(Polly want a collarbone?)
Try the lake for fish
Or just say yes to yesterday break
It and make a wish
I ate dirt as a baby, I did it for the flavor
In a couple years I'll let
The dirt return the favor

When the sun sets on the city
It's something to behold
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
For now you're young and pretty
And you'll be lovely when you're old
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold

Yeah
I used to consider the riches and the props
And the houses and the fame and the fortune
Everything seems when you get here
There seems more desirable
All that old fear doesn't leave
It's inside of you everything material
It passes like the night'll do into day
Came and went away
Nothing penetrates the void that
Illustrates the noise
Mental states annoyed with a attitude of
Zero gratitude that may destroy
Beneath the lies is truth though
You seek and find the proof
Only place to be is here
Dig in, peep it how the roots grow
From out of nowhere into nothingness and back
Constantly expresses everything and everyone
And acting as a thread arm Leg Leg Arm Head
Karma that you spread
May be relived again after you
Live again after you're dead
Until you merge into the blissful
Field of mighty power
But time is an illusion
All of it's within you now

The sun is going down drink another round
Play until you fold paint the city gold
Remember what you've heard
Don't say another word
Until you shake your bottle up and
Spray a little on the curb
Remember what you own take the sunset home
If no one's out right now
I hope you know you're not alone
Try to find some nights
To watch the shining lights
Park see the city sparkle
Out on diamond heights
All those attractive glass spires
That we love to stack higher
I'm starting grass fires
When my car backfires after four flat tires
Rolling off road to avoid the bad drivers
Coming back home and I climb the walls
Into the sky on tall risers
To make it all brighter
So blaze your lighters up
Raise your cider cup
And let's pull an all-nighter

When the sun sets on the city
It's something to behold
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
For now you're young and pretty
And you'll be lovely when you're old
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
When the sun sets on the city
It's something to behold
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
For now you're young and pretty
And you'll be lovely when you're old
Cause when the sun sets on the city
Everything turns gold
