Fat man sitting on a little stool Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you Hands me the ticket, smiles and whispers good luck Cuddle up angel, cuddle up my little dove We'll ride down, baby, into this tunnel of love Well, I can feel the soft silk of your blouse And them soft thrills in our little fun house Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us, yeah You, me and all that stuff we're so scared of Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love Well, there's a crazy mirror showing us both in five D I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love Well, it ought to be easy ought to be simple enough, yeah Man meets woman and they fall in love But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above If you want to ride on down, down in through this tunnel of love Tunnel of love This tunnel of love This tunnel of love
