Toughest Street In Town

Outside the window the neon flashes

In the morning light

Down on the sidewalk there's a woman with a problem

But she don't know how to fight



She's destitute and broken down

She softly whispers is there no one around

And no one hears the sound

Her knees give way and hit the ground



This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest



Like a rat in a pack it attacks

From the back

Through a crack in a track

And you take a smack



This jack has had a hard day

No one told him it would be like this

He's had to score the hard way

Working on twenty hour shifts



This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest

It's tough stuff

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest

Don't you do down



No how



It's just another black spot

Where far too many people have died

It's just another grave yard

And there's not too many people left alive



This is the toughest

Are you tough enough

This is the toughest

Are you rough enough

This is the toughest

Can you bluff enough



Just a minor misery did me no harm

But it's there to warn outside the window

The neon is still flashing in the morning light

Down on the sidewalk that woman was blown away

Out of sight



All across the city no one gives a damn

All across the city no one seems to understand



This is the toughest

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest



Are you rough enough

This is the toughest

If i were you i wouldn't come around here

This is the toughest

This is the toughest

Are you tough enough
