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 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 alwais 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 bamdit 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 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 whirligig
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 alwais did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it alwais 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 from Cullercoats and Whitley bay out to rockaway

  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
