And I've been riding on the Gulf Stream.
And I been riding on a ghost train.
I'm crazy running water but it's the life that I choose
Sing about the sixth place, sing about the sixpack
And a tallship tattoo.
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
Sing about the sixblade, sing about the switchback
And a torture tattoo.
Neon burnin', Uh oh oh o-h.
Neon burnin' up above.
Fun Boy Three's, "Tunnel Of Love"
You fall in people
You fall in feet first
Getting crazy on the monsters but it's the life that I choose
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
Girl it looked so pretty to me, just like it always did, just like the Spanish City Turin".
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me .
The Spanish City is (was?) apparently a fun fair or amusement park in the North East of England.
Going crazy on the wall, sir, but it's the life that I choose
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
I put my hand up on her femur
I put my hand upon the Lever
