Tunnel Of Love - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983

This song's the "Tunnel Of Love"

Crazy on the waltzers

But it's the life that I choose

Sing about the six-blade, 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 know where I'll be tonight

But I'd always tell you where I am

A screaming ring of faces

I seen her standing in the light

She had a ticket for the races

Yeah, 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-armed bandit fever

There was an arrow through my heart and my soul

The big wheel keep on turnin'

Neon burning up above

And I'm just high on this world

Come on and take a low ride with me, girl

On the tunnel of love

Yeah, love, see love

It's just a danger, danger

When you're riding at your own risk

She said, "You are the perfect stranger"

She said, "Baby, just keep it like that"

Just a cakewalk

Do the twist by the pool, step up and say

"Hey, mister, give me two, give me two, now

Any two can play, yeah"

And the big wheel keep on turning

Neon burning up above

And I'm just high on this world

Come on and take a low ride with me, girl

On the tunnel of love

Yeah, love, see love

And it's been money for muscle on another whirligig

Money for muscle and a-another girl I dig

Another hustle just to, just to make it big

And rockaway, rockaway

Yeah, rockaway, rockaway

Girl, it looks so pretty to me

Just like it always did

Yeah, like the Spanish city to me

When we were kids

Girl, it looks so pretty to me

Just like it always did

Yeah, like the Spanish city to me

When we were kids

Whoa, la

Check it out, now

Took off her silver locket

Said, "Remember me by this"

Put her hand in my pocket

I got a keepsake and a kiss

And in the roar of this diesel

I stood and watched her walk away

Could have caught up with her easy enough

You know, but something must have made me stay

The big wheel keep on turning

Neon burning up above

And I'm just high on this world

Come on and take a low ride with me, girl

On the tunnel of love

Yeah, love, see love

Tunnel of love

Whoa, yeah, (love, see love)

So, now I'm searchin' through these carousels

And the carnival arcade

I've been searchin' everywhere

Steeplechase in the palisades

In any shooting gallery

Where the promises are made

For the rockaway, rockaway

Walkaway, rockaway

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, yeah

Oh, girl, it looks so pretty to me

Like it always did

Yeah, like the Spanish city to me

When we were kids
