Elton John - On Dark Street lyrics

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album the one

I'm staring down a mile of disappearing track

Is this the best that we could do

I'm leaning through the rain but you ain't looking back

What did I ever have to prove

`cause it feels like electricity hitting an open field

When am I ever gonna to learn

Married life's two people trying to grab the wheel

Oh and we must have got lost

Living on dark street

Looking for an exit

Sleeping on the concrete

You can't see it with your eyes

You can't find it with your feet

All I know is that we're lost baby

And we're living on dark street

All the layoffs and the pay cuts cripple me inside

I pay the price for living everyday

Trying to keep us all together along with a little pride

What'll it take to make you stay

But I've dreamed about an island

And all I got's a bucket of sand

I'd give my eyes to give you all your dreams

Now I get to see my family slipping through my hands
