Risk - Skid Row lyrics

Beg steal borrow desire

A child's heart seemed to expire

No denying a city's a jungle

Rats in the backyard

Big city, hopeless and rough

A child's life stone-cold and tough

Little sneaker, alley sleeper

Prince of the backyard

No career, no tomorrow

A child's day of hunger and sorrow

All dreams lost and decayed

In the dirt of the backyard

Kid from skid row

Tough heart, Hobo

Backstreet boy

Got no joy

But knows how to Cheat on you

Kid from skid row

Backyard, black heart

Kid from skid row

Tough heart, Hobo
