[Intro: "The Carousel Waltz," by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein]
[Verse 1]
Getting crazy on the waltzers, but it's the life that I choose
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 am
In a screaming ring of faces, I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races
Yea 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
[Chorus]
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
Yea love
[Verse 2]
It's just a danger, 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 cake walk, twisting baby step right up and say
"Hey mister, give me two, give me two now
'Cause any two can play"
[Verse 1]
