I met her at the haunted mansion. She said I looked like Charles Manson, yeah. But I persisted, though. And won her love, you know. Black clouds floating up above. That haunted house was our tunnel of love. The first time she sat next to me, she said I looked just like E.T. The next thing that you know, I was her Romeo. She finally came around. In that haunted house our love was found.

The harlequins have gone to bed, the lights are getting dim The carousel is slowing down, the ferris wheel won't spin The cowboy hats and costume parties don't feel like so much fun The glass's hue turns pink to blue, I see that this is done I want to live forever in your heart like we said But at the end of every happy life somebody drops dead I'm trapped in the tunnel of love It might not be so bad If I could find myself in anything But memories we had And now I'm locked in the tunnel of love Just waiting to jump ship But no sailor wants to accept that the end Is part of the trip Well I love you, I'd love to see you on chapel stairs But we're both in denial if this war was ever fair All the sequins and the sideshows, just distractions from the facts We've been going through the motions, now we're both caught in the act I want to live forever in your heart like we said But at the end of every happy life somebody drops dead I'm trapped in the tunnel of love It might not be so bad If I could find myself in anything But memories we had And now I'm locked in the tunnel of love Just waiting to jump ship But no sailor wants to accept that the end Is part of the trip I'm trapped in the tunnel of love, I'm trapped in the tunnel of love I'm trapped in the tunnel of love
