Oscar Hammerstein II - Tunnel Of Love lyrics

[Verse 1] 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've 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've 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 1] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 2]
