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
