Tunnel Of Love
Performed by Dire Straits, composed by Mark Knopfler. Contains extract from The Carousel Waltz by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose 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 | ||
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 whirling And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did 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 And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did |
