|
Gettin' it while you can |
|
Before the fascination goes |
|
Down to the very last man |
|
Where it stops nobody knows |
|
Nothin to hold you back when the feelin's right |
|
Hidin' from the day and waitin' for the night |
|
It's just a pretty hard thing |
|
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down |
|
Ain't no backin' down |
|
Ain't no turnin' of the other cheek |
|
The rules of the rest of the town |
|
Ain't the same ones out here on the street |
|
Lookin' for anything that'll make your emotions stir |
|
Like walkin' the street with some tight-skirt sister |
|
It's just a pretty hard thing |
|
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down |
|
I'm caught in a crossfire |
|
Of a hopeless disillusion |
|
Nothin' but chain link and barbed wire |
|
Defining the confusion |
|
Ain't really enough to hold back the winter wind |
|
Really don't know if it's keppin you out or it's keepin' me in |
|
It's just a pretty hard thing |
|
To keep gettin' back up after being knocked down |
|
It's just a pretty hard thing, A pretty tough town |
|
Ya keep gettin' back up after being knocked down |
|
It's just a pretty hard thing, a pretty tough town |
