Getting crazy on the waltzers but its the life that I choose
Sing about the six blade sing about the switchback
And a torture tattoo
I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don't know I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
In a screaming ring of faces I saw 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 the one arm bandit fever
There was an arrow through my heart and my soul
And the big wheel keeps on turning neon burning up above
I'm just high on this world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love, woah love love
It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger
Yeah she said baby lets keep it like this
It's just the cakewalk twisting baby yeah step right up and say
Hey mister give me two cause any two can play
Well the big wheel keeps 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
Well its been money for muscle on a another whirligig
Money for muscle and another girl I dig
Another hustle just to just to make it big
And rock away rock away rock away rock away
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
She took off her 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 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
