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 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
