casino steel – i was barely getting by lyrics
[verse]
well, i was walking down fourty+second street
on a hot and steamy night
sweat was pouring down my face
i used to black out for a light
little shoeshine boy said + h+llo, cas!
it seems you’ve run out of luck
and the wino on the corner mumbled
hey, mister, can you spare a buck?
[chorus]
but i was barely getting by
yes, i was barely getting by
[verse]
and this al pachino look+alike
struck a drum up my nose
he said + welcome to new york, punk
kinda scary, i suppose
and as i threw my hands up in the air
i kicked him in the b+lls
he fell face down in the gutter
i thought + how the big and mighty fall
[chorus]
’cause i was barely getting by
yes, i was barely getting by
[verse]
then there was one like a plum in the corner shop
came to my rescue
she’s been eyeing me for a couple of days, she said
can i spend the night with you?
as i took her back to my dingy flat
on third and twenty+nine
i was amazed how such a cr+ppy day
could turn out really fine!
[chorus]
’cause i was barely getting by
yes, i was barely getting by
