Toughest Street In Town - Thin Lizzy

Outside the window the

neon flashes

In the morning light

Down on the sidewalk theres

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

Hes had to score the hard way

Working on twenty hour shifts

This is the toughest street in town

This is the toughest

Its tough stuff

This is the toughest street around

This is the toughest

Don't you do down

No how

Its just another black spot

Where far too many people

have died

Its just another grave yard

And theres 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 its 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 this is

the toughest this is the toughest

This is the toughest

This is the toughest

This is the toughest

This is the toughest

This is the toughest
