Getting crazy on the waltzers, but it's the life that I choose

Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tatoo

And I've been riding on a ghost train

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

It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk

I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

And the big wheels keep on turning , neon burning , up above

And I am high on the world

On the tunnel of love.

On the tunnel of love.

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

Searching everywhere from steeplechase and palisades

In any shooting gallery where promises are made

To rock away rock away from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

(Bridge : arpeggiated chords)
And girl it looks so pretty to me , like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me , when we were kids.

And girl it looks so pretty to me , like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me , when we were kids.

FINAL SOLO :
