It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)[00:00:00]

We had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra[00:00:11]

I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova[00:00:23]

We could walk like Brando right into the sun[00:00:30]

Then dance just like a Casanova[00:00:34]

With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet[00:00:39]

Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat[00:00:43]

When I strut down the street[00:00:46]

I could feel its heartbeat[00:00:48]

Oh women fell back and said[00:00:50]

Don't that man look pretty[00:00:52]

The cripple on the corner cried out[00:00:54]

Nickels for your pity[00:00:56]

Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty[00:00:58]

It's so hard to be a saint in the city[00:01:01]

I was the king if the alley[00:01:10]

I could talk some trash[00:01:13]

I was the prince of the paupers[00:01:18]

Crowned downtown at the beggar's bash[00:01:20]

I was the pimp's main prophet[00:01:25]

I kept everythning cool[00:01:27]

A backstreet gambler with the luck to lose[00:01:29]

And when the heat came down it was left on the ground[00:01:32]

The devil appeared like[00:01:37]

Jesus through the steam in the street[00:01:38]

Showin' me a hand[00:01:40]

I knew even the cops couldn't beat[00:01:42]

I felt his hot breath on my neck as[00:01:44]

I dove into the heat[00:01:45]

It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy[00:01:47]

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead[00:01:57]

As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straightahead[00:02:01]

They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread[00:02:05]

But it's too hot in these tunnels[00:02:08]

You can get hit up by the heat[00:02:10]

You get up to get out at your next stop[00:02:12]

But they push you back down in your seat[00:02:14]

Your heart starts beating faster as you struggle to your feet[00:02:16]

Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street[00:02:20]

And them South Side sisters sure look pretty[00:02:23]

The cripple on the corner cries out[00:02:27]

Nickels for your pity[00:02:29]

And them downtown boys sure talk gritty[00:02:31]

It's so hard to be a saint in the city[00:02:34]
