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
