Titel: TUNNEL OF LOVE
Interpret: DIRE STRAITS
<C> : 1980
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 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 ans 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,...
Well, it's been money for muscle another whirligig,
money for muscle 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 were kids.
Yeah 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 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 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,...
