Tunnel Of Love (Intro: The Carousel Waltz)

Tunnel Of Love - Mark Knopfler
Getting crazy on the waltzers

But its the life that I choose

Yeah 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 dont know where Ill be tonight

But Id 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 my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

And Im just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love

Yeah yeah

Its just the danger danger when youre riding at your own risk

She said you are the perfect stranger

She said baby lets keep it like this

Its 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 Im just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love

Oh love

Well its been money for muscle another whirligig

Money for muscle another girl I dig
Another hustle just to just to make it big
And rockaway rockaway

Oh rockaway rockaway

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

Oh like the Spanish city to me when we were kids

Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

Oh 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 Im just high on the world

Come on and take a low ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love

Yeah love love

On the tunnel of love

Oh love love

And now Im 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 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
