Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra | |
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova | |
I could walk like Brando right into the sun | |
Then dance just like a Casanova | |
With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet | |
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat | |
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat | |
The sisters fell back and said 'Don't that man look pretty' | |
The cripple on the corner cried out 'Nickels for your pity' | |
Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty | |
It's so hard to be a saint in the city | |
I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash | |
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash | |
I was the pimp's main prophet I kept everything cool | |
Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose | |
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground | |
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street | |
Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat | |
I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat | |
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street | |
And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead | |
As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead | |
They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread | |
But it's too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat | |
You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat | |
Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet | |
Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street | |
And them South Side sisters sure look pretty | |
The cripple on the corner cries out 'Nickels for your pity' | |
And them downtown boys sure talk gritty | |
It's so hard to be a saint in the city |

The sisters fell back and said ' Don' t that man look pretty' | |
The cripple on the corner cried out ' Nickels for your pity' | |
Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty | |
It' s so hard to be a saint in the city | |
I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash | |
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar' s bash | |
