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 a 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 my 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 cake walk 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 whirligig
|
money for muscle and 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 the 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 cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
|
|
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
|
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
|
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
|
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
