of a cobra I was born blue and weathered but I
burst just like a super-nova I could walk like
Brando right into the sun, an' dance just like a
Casanova With my black-jack and jacket and my hair

And your heart starts beatin' faster as you
struggle to your feet Then you're out of that
hole!, back on the street And them south-side

the corner cries out "Nickels for your
pity" And them down-town boys, they sure talk
gritty It's so hard to be a saint in the
