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

And them southside sisters, they sure look pretty | |
And the cripple on the corner cries out ' Nickels for your pity' | |
And them downtown boys, they sure talk gritty | |
