Lyrics of On Every Street by Dire Straits,Mark Knopfler
verse
There's gotta be a record of you someplace
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown, a picture of your face
Your injured looks
pre-chorus
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
chorus
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
verse
A ladykiller, regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says, "What can I tell you as I'm standing next to you?"
She threw herself under my wheels
pre-chorus
Oh, it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over Liberty explode in the heat
chorus
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
verse
A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
pre-chorus
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
chorus
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
chorus
And it's your face, I'm looking for
On every street
Writer(s): Mark Knopfler
