Thin Lizzy - Toughest Street In Town lyrics

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're taking smack

And jack has had a hard day

No one told him it would be like this

He's had to score the hard way

And there's that trick he'll always miss.

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 graveyard

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 as a constant reminder and 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
