《It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City (live)》LRC歌词下载

📝 歌词预览

[00:22.44]I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
[00:29.04] I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
[00:35.58] I could walk like Brando right into the sun
[00:39.09] Then dance just like a Casanova
[00:43.68] With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
[00:47.37] Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
[00:50.76] When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
[00:54.18] The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
[00:57.51] The cripple on the corner cried out "Nickels for your pity"
[01:00.84] Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty
[01:04.20] It's so hard to be a saint in the city
[01:11.94] I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash
[01:18.48] I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash
[01:24.96] I was the pimp's main prophet I kept everything cool
[01:28.08] Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
[01:33.12] And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
[01:36.45] The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
[01:38.79] Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat
[01:42.87] I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
[01:46.26] It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street
[01:54.12] And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
[01:57.39] As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead
[02:00.69] They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread
[02:03.90] But it's too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat
[02:07.44] You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat
[02:10.98] Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
[02:14.67] Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street
[02:17.19] And them South Side sisters sure look pretty
[02:21.03] The cripple on the corner cries out "Nickels for your pity"
[02:25.26] And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
[02:27.30] It's so hard to be a saint in the city
