- Dire Straits: Tunnel of Love
-
- 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
- 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 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
