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 dont know how to fight

Shes 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

Dont 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 wouldnt come around here

This is the toughest

This is the toughest

Are you tough enough
