| 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 |
