It's just a cakewalk twisting baby
'Cause any two can play
She said "You are the perfect stranger"
And now I'm searching through these carousels
Check it out
Another hustle just to, just to make it big
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
Neon burning up above
Step right up and say
And the big wheel keep on turning
And in the roar of dust and diesel
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
Just like me she was a victim of the night
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
I could have caught up with her easy enough
And the big wheel keep on turning
And I'm just high on this world
Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
On the tunnel of love, yeah love
Neon burning up above
Money for muscle and a another girl I dig
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay out to rockaway
And I'm just high on the world
There was an arrow through
She said "Baby just keep it like this"
And I'm just high on the world
And the carnival arcades
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
From steeplechase to palisades
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Searching everywhere
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love, oooh love
Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Neon burning up above
Where the cars they scream and slam
Said let it rock and let it roll
Sing about the sixblade
And I don't know where I'll be tonight
She said "Remember me by this"
And when you're riding at your own risk
And rockaway, you rockaway, oh rockaway, rockaway
She took off a silver locket
In a screaming ring of faces
But something must have made me stay
Where promises are made
To rockaway, rockaway, rockaway, rockaway
Well it's been money for muscle on a another whirligig
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
I seen her standing in the light
I had a one arm bandit fever
And I been riding on a ghost train
In any shooting gallery
She put her hand in my pocket
I got a keepsake and a kiss
She had a ticket for the races
"Hey mister give me two, give me two now"
And the big wheel keep on turning
But I'll always tell you where I am
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love, yeah love, love, love
On the tunnel of love, ooh love, love
And a torture tattoo
I stood and watched her walk away
My heart and my soul
Sing about the switchback
I put my hand upon the lever
It's just a danger, danger
