Tough Town

So Sol gripped and ripped the sticky bandage off Just to make it sting Just to make it sing His nightly riff of broken skin And chipped smiles Of nice tries Of holy immaculate inflatable lies Cause its a tough tough town Mumblin sidewalks place their bets And shadows chase the sirens down Bodegas slap prices on regrets Cause its a tough tough town So dawn pissed across the skyline Orange and hazy Like a hazard light Like a rusted kite Tugging him down the subway hole And slingshot-quick, he was back at work Back behind the pole Cause its a tough tough town Mumblin sidewalks place their bets And shadows chase the sirens down Bodegas slap prices on regrets Cause its a tough tough town Quittin time - he checked his fear He checked his tweets He buried his beer Last call for meet and greets First step for baby Bring me all those broken sweets Im feelin kinda lazy Cause its a tough tough town Mumblin sidewalks place their bets And shadows chase the sirens down Bodegas slap prices on regrets Cause its a tough tough town
