Manhattan she’s got such a pout

New York Walkabout

Words and music by Spyder Darling

Dawn breaks in the afternoon and she looks pretty pale

Beauty with her sterling spoon, a bride without a veil

She’s got lines she hasn’t used, that tell who she might be

A looking glass can easily bruise the face you’ll never see

It’s just a New York Walkabout

Some things you just don’t talk about

Just a New York walkabout

Cashing in her life, one Groupon at a time

Burning Kindles at both ends, updating her timeline

Happy hour, after hours, always on the go

From Chelsea to Tribeca and the outskirts of Soho

It’s just a New York Walkabout

Some things you just don’t talk about

Just a New York walkabout

Manhattan she’s got such a pout

Just an NY walkabout

It’s a ride of passage, coming in on the train
