Watsky - Other Cities Lyrics






There's nothin' like the feeling of the plane flight homeward;
The way my stomach dips when the landing gears lowered;

Because no matter how many miles that I wander;
The bay bridge curves like a smile on the water;
I'm like, what up missy?
Tell me you were missin' me;
With this pretty city skyline lit up like a Christmas tree;
The buildings shimmering like pinky rings from Tiffany's;
Every time I witness it I have a damn epiphany;
That this is me! This is where I've got the richest history;
Stacked with six or seven memories on every single street;
I never missed a beat;
I'm soaked in city pride;
And me oh my, this foggy sky got me misty eyed;

There might be other cities half as raw as ours;
(Just as 'bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it)
Out in some distant galaxy among the stars;
(But I doubt it, doubt it, doubt it)

We don't play tiny violins over minor things;
We slide into the ring takin' Tyson swings;
Because this city will defend our fuckin' pride
And raise each other up like Simba in the Lion King;

We're not shy;
I ain't no coy coward;
I'll be doin' trust falls offa Coit tower;
My boys on the ground floor providin' man power;
But if I die now, mix me into clam chowder;
Put me in a bread bowl, feed me to the seagulls;
But not the freakin' tourists;
I'm sure they're peachy people;
I guess I'm just a purist;
It isn't oil, but there's somethin' in the water
And it's got me feelin' diesel;

There might be other cities half as raw as ours;
(Just as 'bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it)
Out in some distant galaxy among the stars;
(But I doubt it, doubt it, doubt it)

[Outro: Bobby "Blue" Bland]
Ain't no love, in the heart of the city;
Ain't no love, in the heart of town;
Ain't no love, in the heart of the city;
Ain't no love, in the heart of town;
Ain't no love.

  1. Z.... D....

    Theres this version which is great and theres the music video version which is bad.

    But on soundcloud theres also the version from the live in london thing from 2013, which is the best

  2. Q.... ....

    Lately They have been playing this Song on the Radio in Germany

    Was so fucking suprised when Ive heard it there. Took me way back to the time Ive listened to it All those years ago.

    Wish this was on Spotify :)

  3. J.... D....

    fuck white ppl

  4. L.... Z....

    Wish this album were to be on Spotify

  5. C.... ....

    this is such a better version, the music video is missing sparkle ding ding enjoy ur paper

    C.... ....

    I was thinking the same thing, well kind of. I was thinking "Meh" when this popped the mix I'm listening to, but then I thought "this is much better than I remember". Your comment seems to suggest there's another version, explaining why I expected mediocrity.

  6. o.... ....

    Why was this song's music video removed from Watsky's Youtube Channel?

    o.... ....

    I was wondering the same thing, I was looking because that was one of my favorite videos.

    o.... ....

    He added a lot of his old music to a playlist and made them unlisted. You can still get them by going to his channel and looking in the playlist section

    o.... ....

    I copied his tweet about it from July 29 2016 "for those who care- i unlisted some older vids i feel don't represent where i'm at well, so new listeners don't form impressions based on em"

  7. J.... R....

    This needs to be on iTunes

    J.... R....

    +Jonas Reyna or you could just download it for free on his website

    J.... R....

    +krakendude2 no it's not free

    J.... R....

    yes it is

    J.... R....

    He can't claim any of the profit from the song because he's sampling Hall & Oats, unfortunately. Good for mixtapes though!

    J.... R....

    @Jessica Almeida you can claim profit even if you sample

  8. s.... ....

    I love this song 3

  9. M.... T....

    this guy rocks

  10. C.... E....

    I love this song! makes me feel happy<3

  11. G.... V....

    So Enable likes cats, but not good music. I know someone who need to get some priorities straight.

  12. M.... ....

    Excuse me? Did you just say that this is the shittiest excuse for music on earth? I almost didn't even bother logging in to reply, But I'm sick and fucking tired of people bashing on the good musicians in this world, Watsky's music is some of the most meaningful and greatest music you would ever hope to listen to. He is not only a musician but a poet, And a fucking good one at that. I have copious amounts of respect for Watsky. He's incredible. (I have no more space to type more, Or I would) GUH

    M.... ....

    MrImADolt If we met, we would be best friends.

  13. D.... P....

    awesome vid

  14. N.... M....

    Anyone know where i can learn to kill the harmonica like watsky?

  15. d.... ....

    and I consider it money well spent, I still listen to this cd in my car :D

  16. d.... ....

    I paid for it. Not a huge amount, but I paid what I could at the time.

  17. S.... ....

    He enjoys making these songs and his subs love watching them, so he's just bringing his songs to his fans for whatever they can afford to pay for them.

  18. S.... ....

    When you go to download this, why does he allow you to name your price?

  19. S.... ....

    I want all his songs

  20. J.... S....

    He gave it away cuz its a mix tape

  21. M.... H....

    real talk... i downloaded it for free to but if i had to pay for it... i would

  22. d.... ....

    yes you do

  23. P.... ....

    Could someone please find me the harmonica tabs? Or maybe the original song tab? ♥

  24. M.... N....

    "Please don't sue me, I'm too pretty for prison" LOLOL XD I love this guy.

  25. F.... P....

    You should have. You can pay for it if you want. That helps him!

  26. S.... ....

    My brother went to his show in B-More, and he got a few pics with Watsky and Mody, and a signed "Guilty Pleasures" CD.

  27. M.... ....

    I gave him $5 for each CD, dude is too good to not give him some cheese.

  28. s.... ....

    Break yo self! Better give me that heart girl! lol

  29. M.... ....

    He's original and creative 10,000 points Watsky :)

  30. M.... ....

    Sounds kinda like dumbfoundead :)

  31. K.... ....

    He actually DID give it out for free, you could set the price you paid(including paying nothing).

  32. K.... N....

    Watsky wouldn't sue.

    He gave his album out for practically free in the first place.
