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
Getting crazy on the waltzers

Come on and take a low with ma girl
On the tunnel of love
It's just the danger when
