Getting crazy on the waltzers
But it’s the life that I choose Hey, sing about the six blade 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 amIn 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 arm bandit fever There was an arrow through my heart and my soulAnd 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, ye, loveIt’s just the danger, 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 cakewalk twisting baby, a step right up and say Hey mister, give me two, give me two now ‘Cause any two can playAnd 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, oh loveWell it’s been money for muscle another whirligig
Money for muscle and another girl I dig Another hustle just to, just to make it big And rock away, you rock away Oh, rock away, rock awayAnd girl it looks so pretty to me
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 Oh, like the Spanish city to me when we were kidsShe 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 stayAnd 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 On the tunnel of love, whoa, love, loveAnd 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 rock away, rock away Rock away, rock away From Cullercoats and Whitley bay Out to rock awayAnd 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
