Tunnel Of Love (Intro: The Carousel Waltz)

Tunnel Of Love - Mark Knopfler

Getting crazy on the waltzers

But it's 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 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 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

Yeah yeah

It's just the danger 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

Oh love

Well it's 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 I'm 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 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 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
