It's
Hard To Be A Saint In The City

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 And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead |
