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 tattoo
|
And I 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 seen 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 there was an arrow through my heart and soul
|
|
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
|
And I'm just high on the world
|
Come on and 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 cos any two can play
|
|
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
|
And I'm just high on the world
|
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
|
On the tunnel of love
|
|
Well it's been money for muscle another whirlgig
|
Money for muscle another girl I dig
|
Another hustle just to make it big
|
And rockaway rockaway
|
|
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
|
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids
|
Oh 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 wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
|
And I'm just high on the world
|
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
|
On the tunnel of love
|
|
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
|
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
|
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
|
To rockaway rockaway from Cullercoasts 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
|
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
|
Like the spanish city to me when we were kids
|
