Gift Of Gab - Everything Turns Gold lyrics

Chorus- Mieka Pauley 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 Verse 1- Watsky The frog in my throat was the size of a mutt The fat toad ate the bu*terflies in my gut The dog in me knows that it's a b**h 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 trynna 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 f** 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 Chorus Verse 2- Gift of Gab 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 pa**es like the night'll do Into day Came and went away 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 Bridge- Watsky 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 gla** spires That we love to stack higher I'm starting gra** 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 Blaze your lighters up Raise your cider cup And let's pull an all-nighter Chorus (x2)
