DIRE STRAITS - Tunnel Of Love lyrics

rate me

Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's life that choose<br>Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo<br>And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam<br>And I don't know I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am<br><br>In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light<br>She had a ticket for the race just like me she was a victim of the night<br>I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll<br>I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul<br><br>And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above<br>And I'm just high on the wold<br>Come on and take a low with ma girl<br>On the tunnel of love<br><br>It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk<br>She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this<br>It's just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say<br>Hey mister give me two give me two cos two can play<br><br>And the big wheel on turning neon burning up above<br>And I'm just high on the world<br>Come on and take the low ride with me girl<br>On the tunnel or love<br><br>Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig<br>Money for muscle another girl I dig<br>Another hustle just to make it big<br>And rockaway rockaway<br><br>And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did<br>Like the spanish city to me when we where kids<br>Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did<br>Like the spanish city to me when we where kids<br><br>She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this<br>She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss<br>And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away<br>I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay<br><br>And the big wheel keep on turning neon up above<br>And I'm high on the world<br>Come on and take a low ride with me girl<br>On the tunnel of love<br><br>And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades<br>Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades<br>In any shooting gallery where promises are made<br>To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bat out to rockaway<br><br>And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did<br>Like the spanish city to me when we where kids<br>Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did<br>Like the spanish city to me when we where kids
