Duran Duran - Save A Prayer Lyrics

Duran Duran - Save A Prayer Video

You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street

And the lights are flashing on your window sill

All alone ain't much fun, so you're looking for the thrill

And you know just what it takes and where to go

 

Don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

No, don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

 

Feel the breeze deep on the inside, look you down into your well

If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire

Take a chance, like all dreamers can't find another way

You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

 

Don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

No, don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

 

Pretty looking road, I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin

Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, melt the ice

And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance, but fear is in your soul

Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise

 

Don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

No, don't say a prayer for me now

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

Save it till the morning after

 

Save a prayer till the morning after

Save a prayer till the morning after

Save a prayer till the morning after

Save a prayer till the morning after

Duran Duran - Rio Lyrics

Duran Duran - Rio Video

Moving on the floor now, babe, you're a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice

With a step to your left and a flick to the right

You catch that mirror way out west

You know you're something special, and you look like you're the best

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines, she really shows you all she can

Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me

Like a birthday or a pretty view

But then, I'm sure that you know it's just for you

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines, she really shows you all she can

Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

Ha ha ha, ah ha ha

 

Hey now, woo, look at that

Did she nearly run you down?

At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive

You make me feel alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance, 'Cause luck is on my side or something

I know what you're thinking, I'll tell you something, I know what you're thinking

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twists across a dusty land

And when she shines, she really shows you all she can

Oh, Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand

And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land

From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

Duran Duran - A View To A Kill Lyrics

Duran Duran - A View To A Kill Video

Meeting you

With a view to a kill

Face to face in secret places

Feel the chill

 

Nightfall covers me

But don't you know the plans I'm making

Still oversea

Could it be a whole Earth opening wide?

A sacred why

A mystery gaping inside

The weekend's why

 

Until we dance into the fire

That fatal kiss is all we need

Dance into the fire

That fatal sound of broken dreams

Dance into the fire

That fatal kiss is all we need

Dance into the fire

 

Choice for you

Is a view to a kill

Between the shades

Assassination standing still

 

First crystal tears

Fall as snowflakes on your body

First time in years

To drench you skin with lover's rosy stain

A chance to find a phoenix for the flame

A chance to die

 

But can we dance into the fire

That fatal kiss is all we need

Dance into the fire

That fatal sound of broken dreams

 

Dance into the fire

That fatal kiss is all we need

Dance into the fire

When all we see is a view to a kill

Duran Duran - Skin Trade Lyrics

Duran Duran - Skin Trade Video

Working on the weekend, baby

She's working all through the night

A jump into the deep end gave her

The evidence she required

Takes five, she's got pearls

Don't fake it when it comes to making money

So she smiles, but that's cruel

If you know what she thinks

If you knew what she was after

 

Sometimes she wonders

And she laughs in her frustration

 

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

 

Doctors of the revolution gave us

The medicine we desired

Besides being absolutely painless

It's a question of compromise

They got steel, so cool

To get angry at the weekend

Then go back to school

So big deal, it's what rules

When it comes to making money

Say yes, please, thank you

 

Sometimes you wonder

And ask yourself the question

 

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

 

I know the answer

But I'm asking you the question

 

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour?

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf Lyrics

Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf Video

Dark in the city, night is a wire

Steam in the subway, earth is a fire

(Do dododo dododo dododo dododo doo doo)

Woman, you want me, give me a sign

And catch my breathing even closer behind

(Do dododo dododo dododo dododo doo doo)

 

In touch with the ground

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Straddle the line in discord and rhyme

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Mouth is alive with juices like wine

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide

I'll be upon you by the moonlight side

(Do dododo dododo dododo dododo doo doo)

Higher blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight

You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind

(Do dododo dododo dododo dododo doo doo)

 

In touch with the ground

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme

I howl and I whine, I'm after you

Mouth is alive, all running inside

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf

 

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Mouth is alive with juices like wine

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd

I'm on the hunt, I'm after you

Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found

And I'm hungry like the wolf

 

Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme

I howl and I whine, I'm after you

Mouth is alive, all running inside

Duran Duran - Ordinary World Lyrics

Duran Duran - Ordinary World Video

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio

Still, I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

 

But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world,

Somehow I have to find

And, as I try to make my way to the ordinary world,

I will learn to survive

 

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say

Pride will tear us both apart

Well, now, pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some'd say,

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

 

But, I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world,

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

 

(Just blown away...)

 

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed

Here today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

 

And I don't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world,

Somehow I have to find

And, as I try to make my way to the ordinary world,

I will learn to survive

 

Every world, is my world (I will learn to survive)

Any world, is my world (I will learn to survive)

Any world, is my world
