Tunnel of Love
Doris Day Lyrics

Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
I'm enjoying the thrill of the ride, even though it may be chaotic and unpredictable.

Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
I'm singing and reminiscing about the thrilling, dangerous rides at the carnival, like the one with six blades and sharp turns (switchbacks).

And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
I recently went on a spooky ride, filled with sudden stops and unpredictable movements.

And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
While I may not know where I'll end up next, I can always share my current location with you.

In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
In a chaotic crowd of people, I spotted a woman standing out and caught my attention.

She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
She, like me, was drawn to the excitement and uncertainty of the night events, represented by the races.

I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I took control of the ride and embraced the thrilling, uncertain experience that lay ahead.

I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
I was caught up in the addictive rush of gambling, feeling the impact emotionally as well as physically.

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
As I continue to participate in the carnival festivities, the bright, flashing signs and lights stand out in the night sky.

And I'm just high on the world
I feel a natural high, fueled by the adrenaline rush and excitement of the carnival.

Come on and take a low ride with me girl
Join me in embracing the wild, unpredictable journey that lies ahead.

On the tunnel of love
We will travel together on this thrilling, romantic ride through the tunnel of love.

It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
Participating in the carnival rides involves inherent risk, and I'm accepting that danger personally.

She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
The woman I met acknowledged we were strangers, but saw the excitement in keeping it that way.

It's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
Participating in this carnival is like taking a simple walk, one step at a time, just with some unexpected twists along the way.

Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
I'm up for trying anything twice, especially if it adds to the excitement of the experience.

Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
I've spent a lot of money to keep experiencing the rush of the carnival attractions.

Money for muscle and another girl I dig
But even with all the rides, I'm still constantly on the lookout for new, thrilling women to meet and talk to.

Another hustle just to make it big
I'm always looking for the next adventure, even if it costs me time and money.

And rockaway rockaway
I'm constantly jumping from one exciting experience to the next, always on the move.

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
The woman I met gave me a keepsake to remember her by after our time together.

She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
She was bold enough to put her hand in my pocket, but it was all in good fun and led to a memorable moment between us.

And in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
Amidst the noisy, chaotic atmosphere of the carnival, I watched the woman I met walk away from me.

I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me Stay
Despite feeling the impulse to run after her, I couldn't quite bring myself to do it and stayed behind instead.

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
In the aftermath of the excitement, I'm scouring the carnival for new experiences and sights to see.

Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
I'm exploring and enjoying every inch of the carnival, even the more obscure or unknown attractions.

In any shooting gallery where promises are made
I'm trying my luck at various games, with the promise of winning prizes and adding even more excitement to my experience.

To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
My adventures have taken me on a wild journey, from cullercoats and whitley bay to the endless excitement of rockaway.

Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Even with all the twists and turns, the carnival retains a sense of beauty and wonder that I've always admired.

Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
The carnival reminds me of the joy and excitement I felt as a child visiting Spanish cities, and it's kept that same sense of wonderment ever since.
