Tunnel Of Love

 

Getting crazy on the waltzers, but it's the life that I choose

Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tatoo

And I've been riding on a ghost train

where the cars they scream and slam

And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am

In a screaming ring of faces

I see her standing in the light

She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night

I put my hand upon the lever

said let it rock and let it roll

I had the one arm bandit fever was an arrow through my heart and my soul

 

And the big wheels keep on turning

neon burning, up above

And I am high on the world

come on take a low ride with me girl.

On the tunnel of love.

 

It's just the danger, when you're riding at your own risk

She said you are the perfect stranger, she said baby let's keep it like this

It's just a cakewalk

twisting baby step right up and say

Hey mister give me two give me two because any two can play

 

And the big wheels keep on turning,

neon burning, up above

And I am high on the world,

come on take a low ride with me girl.

On the tunnel of love.

 

Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig

Money for muscle, another girl I dig

Another hustle, just to make it big,

and rock away rock away

 

And girl, it looks so pretty to me, just like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids.

 

 

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this

She put her hand in my pocket,

I got a keepsake and a kiss

And in the roar of dust and diesel,

I stood and watched her walk away

I could have caught up with her easy enough, but something must have made me

stay

 

And the big wheels keep on turning,

neon burning, up above

And I am high on the world,

come on take a low ride with me girl.

On the tunnel of love.

On the tunnel of love.

 

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

Searching everywhere from steeplechase and palisades

In any shooting gallery where promises are made,

To rock away rock away from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

 

And girl, it looks so pretty to me, just like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids.

And girl, it looks so pretty to me, just like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me, when we were kids.

 

(Repeat until end)
