Henry Krieger - Tunnel of Love lyrics

[TERRY] We're on a mid-way A Texas-sized playground Lots of diversion around We need distraction Without too much action Let me show you a quiet spot I've found Let me take you to the Tunnel of Love Dark and relaxing inside All of us could share the Tunnel of Love Please come along for the ride We need a break from the push and the shove Work has us preoccupied [BUDDY & TERRY] We can relax in the Tunnel of Love Please come along [VIOLET] I'll come along [DAISY] I'll come along [BUDDY, TERRY, DAISY & VIOLET] For the ride We're going down to the Tunnel of Love We'll get a boat and embark Water below and blackness above [TERRY] We'll be alone, Daisy [BUDDY] Like we're alone, honey [DAISY & VIOLET] Almost alone in the dark [All get on the Tunnel of Love ride] [DAISY] Dreamed of being close Now I'm pressing against his side Do I dare to make an advance? He's not made a move Should I swallow my girlish pride? This could be my only chance [BUDDY] Out there in the spotlight Never had a doubt I want her Why do I feel panic Down here in the dark? Violet, I love you Thought that love would lead to pa**ion Pa**ion should be private Me and you But I know she's here too [TERRY] I had planned to keep the temperature cool She's raising my Fahrenheit Don't let pa**ion rule you Don't be a fool Don't feed that appetite Oh what the hell—why fight? [VIOLET] What is going on? Why don't Buddy's kisses feel divine? Why do Daisy's shivers run down my spine? Much more pa**ion on her side than mine Buddy's tame Daisy's aflame [BUDDY, TERRY, DAISY & VIOLET] Secrets of the dark Secrets of love Longing to be satisfied Though no one can see in the Tunnel of Love There's not a place I can hide [DAISY] Terry's on fire All the heat I've been praying for [BUDDY] I can't even try to pretend [VIOLET] He has no desire [TERRY] These are sins I'll be paying for [DAISY] I hope this never will end Lost in the darkness The boat that I am floating in Feels like it's flying through space [VIOLET] I want to lose myself All the thoughts of who I am Here in his private embrace [DAISY] I think I might sink Edging close to the brink Of a dangerous steep waterfall Or am I not moving at all? [VIOLET] All alone now No one is watching us Why not climb over the wall? Take me and give me your all [DAISY] Groping my way Towards an unstated goal Don't know where I'm going But feels like I've been there before [VIOLET] Shouldn't you take the lead? Shouldn't I follow? Shouldn't you fill the need? My heart is hollow [DAISY] I know you are ready I'm on the right track No stopping now No turning back [VIOLET] I want what she's got What I'm feeling she's got Everything he's not yet feeling with me [DAISY] I am yours You are mine It's a sin It's divine [VIOLET] I want mine [DAISY] So divine [VIOLET] Where is mine? [Daisy and Terry kiss, while Violet and Buddy just sit there confused] [COMPANY] Secrets of the dark Secrets of love Longing to be satisfied Though no one can see in the Tunnel of Love There's not a place you can hide [The ride ends and they get off] [TERRY] Was this a mistake—the Tunnel of Love? Pa**ion could not be controlled [BUDDY] How can we forget the Tunnel of Love? [VIOLET] Why was I left feeling cold? [DAISY] I found my dream in the Tunnel of Love Will it continue outside? [BUDDY, TERRY, DAISY & VIOLET] Now that we're out of the Tunnel of Love Gotta get off Gotta get off Gotta get off This ride This ride This ride
