It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City (Live) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band[00:00:00]

I had skin like leather and the diamond hard look of a cobra[00:00:22]

I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova[00:00:29]

I could walk like brando right into the sun[00:00:35]

Then dance just like a casanova[00:00:39]

With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet[00:00:44]

Silver star studs on my duds like a harley in heat[00:00:47]

When I strut down the street I could feel its heartbeat[00:00:51]

The sisters fell back and said don't that man look pretty[00:00:54]

The cripple on the corner cried out nickels for your pity[00:00:57]

Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty[00:01:00]

It's so hard to be a saint in the city[00:01:04]

I was the king of the alley mama I could talk some trash[00:01:12]

I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash[00:01:18]

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

Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose[00:01:28]

And when the heat came down it was left on the ground[00:01:33]

The devil appeared like jesus through the steam in the street[00:01:36]

Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat[00:01:40]

I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat[00:01:43]

It's so hard to be a saint[00:01:46]

When you're just a boy out on the street[00:01:50]

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead[00:01:55]

As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead[00:01:57]

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

But it's too hot in these tunnels[00:02:04]

You can get hit up by the heat[00:02:05]

You get up to get out at your next stop[00:02:07]

But they push you back down in your seat[00:02:09]

Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet[00:02:11]

Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street[00:02:14]

And them south side sisters sure look pretty[00:02:17]

The cripple on the corner cries out nickels for your pity[00:02:21]

And them downtown boys sure talk gritty[00:02:24]

It's so hard to be a saint in the city[00:02:27]
