歌词
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
我的皮肤像皮革，钻石般坚硬，就像条眼镜蛇
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
我生下来是蓝色的，风吹日晒才得以褪色，但我像超新星一样爆发了
I could walk like Brando right into the sun
我可以像白兰度一样冲向太阳
Then dance just like a Casanova
然后像卡萨诺瓦一样跳舞
With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
玩21点扑克，穿着皮夹克，头发油光蹭亮
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
银色的星钉别在衣服上，就像一辆发情的哈雷摩托车
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
当我昂首阔步地走在街上时，我能感觉到心怦怦直跳
The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
修女们向后退去，说道:“那靓仔真屌，是不是?”
The cripple on the corner cried out "Nickels for your pity"
街角要饭的大声叫道:“给赏个你五分钱吧。”
Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty
市区的加油工们，说话真够狠的
It's so hard to be a saint in the city
在城里当个圣者可真不容易
I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash
我是巷子里的国王，妈妈，我可以说脏话吧
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggar's bash
我是丐帮帮主，在城里的丐帮大会上加冕
I was the pimp's main prophet I kept everything cool
我是拉皮条他们的先知，我对一切都很冷静
Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
我只是后街一个走背运的赌棍
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
热量下降时，超新星呱呱落地
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
魔鬼像耶稣一样，从井盖的蒸汽中显现出来
Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat
给我看他的手，警察也打不过魔鬼之手
I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
当我跳入井盖里的下水道时，我感觉到他在我脖子上呼出的热气
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street
当你还是个流落街头的小男孩时，要成为圣人可真不容易
And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
地铁里的圣人坐着就像活死人一样
As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead
当车辙发出铿锵的节奏时，他们的眼睛直视前方
They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread
他们依靠一根线来保持平衡，仅仅依靠一根线
But it's too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat
但是在这些隧道里太热了，你可能会被灼伤到
You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat
你要在下一站下车
Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
但他们会把你推回到座位上
Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street
当你挣扎着站起来时，你的心脏开始加速跳动
And them South Side sisters sure look pretty
然后你从地铁口出来，回到街上
The cripple on the corner cries out "Nickels for your pity"
And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
南区的姐妹们看起来真漂亮
It's so hard to be a saint in the city
街角的瘸子喊着：“五分钱代表你的怜悯”
然后看到市区里的男孩，满嘴脏话
