@ALBUM: Rio @SONG: RIO Wow! 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 T.V. 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 Hey now (wow), look at that. Did he really 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 I tell you something I know what you're thinking I 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 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 - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: MY OWN WAY I saw you at the airace yesterday April showers get out of my way. Fear of flying no not me I'm never bothered what you say Someone's kid just lives for today It ain't your problem anyway 'Cos I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cos I've got my own way No. I public figure what a pain Just puts another rattle in your brain Take another green but it's not the same Now you're on the Sandlane everyday Dancing with the bulls in any old way Running like a fox to keep up with me. I'm on 45th between 6th & Broadway 7UP between 6th & Broadway. - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: LONELY IN YOUR NIGHTMARE Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red When the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head. Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in and there's heat beneath your winter let me in I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb. And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire. Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind. Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in and it's silent in your stone field let me in Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need C'mon show me all the light and shade that made your name I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in and it's barren in your garden let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in (Because it's silent in your stone field let me in ) ( and you're lonely in your nightmare let me in ) (Because you've waited through the ice age let me in) Because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in and it's cold out on your stone range let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF Darken the city night is a wire Steam in the subway earth is afire Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo Woman you want me give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo 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 do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo 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 doscord 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 - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: HOLD BACK THE RAIN We're miles away from nowhere And the wind doesn't have a name So call it what you want to call it Still blows down the lane People tell me, I haven't changed at all But I don't feel the same And I bet you've had that feeling too You just can't laugh all the time And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame No time for worry cause we're on the roam again. the clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain So what if the words ain't rhyming Did you think that it's just a game probably didn't even say that right And I really don't give a damn Okay go off and wander I'm guilty just the same Sometimes you're needed badly So please come back again --chorus-- - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: NEW RELIGION (A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego) I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime. Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things Telling me not there man it's no go (Don't go there boy) I need a reason I can't think without one now Too much learning got to show Call it treason Maybe catch her don't know how Too many things too much to know Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind. Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'cause sometimes people stare Coming down, electric chair And steaming crowds they gather and they shout Don't know why this evil bothers me Take another chance boy carry the fight You can take him if you're fast So why is he trying to follow me? Didn't I say if you're holdin' on You'd be laughing at the last How many reasons do they need? I get along fine with them friends of mine But you have to make a choice I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time And it's us who make the noise I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife Only get one look before you die Don't know why this evil follows me Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners In regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things So why does he try to bother me? Walking in formation down the lane They carry their cross make a church bell ring How many reasons do they need? Army majors pull a mean cool truth There lying in a swimming pool I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: LAST CHANCE ON THE STAIRWAY I don't remember quite how I met you wasn't long ago Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes. The waves in your hair Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night. Just took me out on a limb And I don't really know what I'm doing here. And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beat's so in time can you look at me I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right I've had my last chance on the stairway. Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight 'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back We'll turn and see the circles we traced Ain't no game... when you're playing with fire It doesn't seem right that we fight So the party runs on all night And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beat's so in time can you look at me I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right So nervous to say tell me can't you see If you want I'll fall out forever I can't say no more... bebe dance with me And please don't say leave till later I've had my last chance on the stairway. Wonder why... what makes me rise so high Maybe it's something they put in your perfume Or the look in your eyes It could be the atmosphere sinking I don't even know what you're thinking Don't even know what you're drinking But it keep this heaven alive - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: SAVE A PRAYER TIL THE MORNING AFTER 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 save a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the 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 til the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after Save it til the morning after. Save it til 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 I'll 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 til the morning after No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after Save it til the morning after Save it til the morning after Save it til the morning after Save it til the morning after Save a prayer til the morning after - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: THE CHAUFFEUR Out on the tar plains the glides are moving all looking for a new place to hide You sit beside me so newly charming sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined and the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Way down the lane away living for another day the aphids swarm up in the drifting haze swim seagull in the sky towards some hollow western isle my envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined and the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Sing Blue Silver And watching lovers part I feel you smiling what glass splinters lie so deep in your mind to tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies and I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind the front of your dress all shadowy lined and the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Sing Blue Silver Sing, Sing Blue Silver - Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor & Roger Taylor @SONG: LAST CHANCE ON THE STAIRWAY I don't remember quite how I met you wasn't long ago Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes.
