Dire Straits Tunnel of Love Lyrics

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
nd I'm just high on the world
and 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
