nathan burton - nyc lyrics

he was walking down the street
with a half+borrowed hat set on straight
he was meeting some girl in a new york city bar
but he was late
yeah, he’s from downtown new york city, man

talking on her phone
behind the curtains of the photoautomat
speaking in a tone that seemed at odds
just with the way that she was sat
guess she’s from nw london, england, man

she said she loves those subway clowns
that jenny always keeps an ear to the ground
she’s always raving about those rock and roll bands
but he’s, he’s from downtown new york city

there’s a girl you got to meet
she’s with a man who’s happy howling at the moon
(ah whoo ooh ooh)
danced alone to footage of a concert in her own from room
she got away, got out
and made her way down to new york city, man

well out there on the street
he’s trying to keep himself ahead of the race
collecting all this music so he’s got something to say and to chase
they say he bought and found
every sound down in new york city, man
yeah, jenny loves those “subway clowns”
she says she always keeps an ear to the ground
she’s always raving about those rock and roll bands
and me?
well, i ain’t from downtown new york city
sometimes my head, my heart, my thoughts, they ain’t too pretty
