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

[madmexicanproduction]

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 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 just like a Harley in heat

When I strut down the street I could hear its heart beat

The sisters fell back and said, "Don't that man look pretty."

The cripple on the corner cried out, "Nickels for your pity."

@jericoacoara There's a DVD of the night before this one. Look up "Bruce Springsteen Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 DVD". Google it, or go to Amazon. One of my all time favorite shows by anyone, ever.
