[00:00.99] tunnel of love - Dire Straits
[00:42.56] Getting crazy on the waltzers
[00:44.48]
[00:45.50] but it's the life that I choose
[00:47.52]
[00:50.38] Sing about the sixblade sing
[00:52.32] about the switchback and a torture tattoo
[00:55.88] And I been riding on a ghost train
[00:58.30]
[00:59.38] where the cars they scream and slam
[01:02.05]
[01:03.17] And I don't know where I'll be tonight
[01:05.08]
[01:07.42] but I'd always tell you where I am
[01:09.52]
[01:10.26] In a screaming ring of faces
[01:12.31]
[01:13.34] I seen her standing in the light
[01:15.30]
[01:16.74] She had a ticket for the races yeah just like me
[01:21.03] she was a victim of the night
[01:22.87]
[01:23.72] I put a hand upon the lever said let
[01:27.60] it rock and let it roll
[01:29.23]
[01:30.65] I had the one arm bandit fever
[01:33.43]
[01:34.96] there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
[01:37.53]
[01:38.05] And the big wheel keep
[01:39.08] on turning neon burning up above
[01:44.89]
[01:45.50] And I'm just high on the world
[01:47.58]
[01:48.57] Come on and take a low ride with me girl
[01:52.46] On the tunnel of love
[01:57.77]
[01:59.58] It's just the danger
[02:00.93]
[02:02.16] when you're riding at your own risk
[02:04.74]
[02:05.55] She said you are the perfect stranger
[02:08.05]
[02:10.05] she said baby let's keep it like this
[02:12.56]
[02:13.46] It's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
[02:19.36]
[02:21.44] Hey mister give me two
[02:22.97] give me two cos any two can play
[02:25.99]
[02:27.00] And the big wheel keep
[02:27.93] on turning neon burning up above
[02:33.78]
[02:34.41] And I'm just high on the world
[02:36.63]
[02:37.56] Come on and take a low ride with me girl
[02:40.98]
[02:41.73] On the tunnel of love
[02:43.66] love
[02:47.06]
[02:48.52] Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
[02:52.52]
[02:53.12] Money for muscle and another girl I dig
[02:56.16]
[02:56.68] Another hustle just to make it big
[02:59.70] And rockaway rockaway
[03:01.54]
[03:02.83] oh rockaway rockaway
[03:05.09]
[03:06.28] And girl it looks so pretty
[03:07.96] to me just like it always did
[03:11.85]
[03:13.17] Like the spanish city to me
[03:16.89] when we were kids
[03:18.53]
[03:20.43] Oh girl it looks so pretty to
[03:22.33] me just like it always did
[03:25.97]
[03:27.40] Like the spanish city to me
[03:30.31]
[03:30.82] when we were kids
[03:33.08]
[03:45.89] check out
[03:46.43]
[04:07.54] She took off a silver locket
[04:09.28]
[04:10.66] she said remember me by this
[04:12.74]
[04:14.08] She put her hand in my pocket
[04:16.12]
[04:18.49] I got a keepsake and a kiss
[04:20.98] And in the roar of the dust and diesel
[04:23.23]
[04:24.50] I stood and watched her walk away
[04:26.38]
[04:29.72] I could have caught up with her easy enough
[04:32.09]
[04:32.63] but something must have made me stay
[04:35.17] And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
[04:42.05]
[04:42.67] And I'm just high on the world
[04:44.68]
[04:45.69] Come on and take a low ride with me girl
[04:49.11]
[04:49.87] On the tunnel of love
[04:51.42]
[04:52.50] On the tunnel of love
[04:54.88]
[04:56.75] On the tunnel of love
[04:58.32]
[04:59.47] On the tunnel of love
[05:01.66]
[05:03.47] And now I'm searching through
[05:04.79] these carousels and the carnival arcades
[05:07.11]
[05:07.65] Searching everywhere from
[05:08.89] steeplechase to palisades
[05:10.60]
[05:11.17] In any shooting gallery where promises are made
[05:14.40] To rockaway rockaway
[05:16.46]
[05:18.19] rockaway rockaway from cullercoats
[05:22.52] and whitley bay out to rockaway
[05:26.24]
[05:29.09] And girl it looks so pretty to me
[05:31.21]
[05:33.57] like it always did
[05:35.28]
[05:36.65] Like the spanish city to me
[05:38.50]
[05:41.43] when we were kids
[05:42.92]
[05:44.00] Girl it looks so pretty to me
[05:45.83]

[05:50.95] Like the spanish city to me
[05:54.36] when we were kids
[05:57.97]
