Lyrics
There's gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebody's books
The low-down, a picture of your face
Your injured looks
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
A lady-killer, regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
What can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh, it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
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
And you still refused to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
And it's your face I'm looking for
On every street
