This place has changed since we were the kings The shops torn down where we pawned our rings 8 by 10's no one sees no more Like Telly Savalas hangin' by the door, Palookaville Well, you can't tell your baby how a left jab feels The first you take rocks you on your heels Soon you're back in the car up for the long ride home The canvas is splattered with your blood and bone, Palookaville You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody to see You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody like me The crowd was dressed in leathers and lace They scream for more, why you work this fast? Then they tore up their programs and they jumped to their feet Whatd'ya say, we go get somethin' to eat? Over in Palookaville Palookaville cast off by crooks A punch drunk fighter with two left hooks You only blame yourself for the way it went You threw away your chances now you're sweatin' the rent All in Palookaville You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody to see You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody like me Now you're one of the crowd walkin' where they walk There's a new kid hoppin' and talkin' the talk But you know what's it's like fallin' off'a the map Your heaven sent treasure got sprung like a trap Over Palookaville Now there's a boy in the dark he's got a ways to go Underneath the covers with a radio He's tunin' in a fight from Bangor Maine Once you catch the bug it's never the same, Palookaville You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody to see You coulda been somebody Coulda been somebody like me
