Sightseer in the middle of the night   Looking for action, something real tight   But can you make it when we turn on the lights   Of the city?      Street walker in the middle of the day   Been up all night trying to earn your pay   Mama, told you when you ran away   It's not easy, there's no pity in the city      I've been on this corner so long   But it's no one's guess who's the next blonde   But before you know it, it'll be gone   But I ain't complaining, don't get me wrong   It's not easy in the city      Street walker in the middle of your life   Every day is like shooting dice   You carry yourself like you carry a knife   In the city      Fast talker in the middle of the street   Trying to hustle everyone that you meet   Sooner or later everybody gets beat   It's not easy, there's no pity in the city
