Artist/Band: Mark Knopfler
Lyrics for Song: Tunnel Of Love
Lyrics for Album: Private Investigations: Best Of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler [2010]



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'll 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 my hand upon the lever

Said let it rock and let it roll

I had a 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, yeah love



It's just a danger, danger

And when you're riding at your own risk

She said "You are the perfect stranger"

She said "Baby just keep it like this"



It's just a cakewalk twisting baby

Step right up and say

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

'Cause 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, oooh love



Well it's been money for muscle on a another whirligig

Money for muscle and a another girl I dig

Another hustle just to, just to make it big

And rockaway, you rockaway, oh rockaway, rockaway



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

Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids

Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids



Check it out



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 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 this world

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 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, rockaway, rockaway

From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay out to rockaway



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

Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids

Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
