The Chauffeur - Rio

(words and music: duran duran) Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive 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 […]

Save A Prayer - Rio

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 […]

Rio - Rio

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 the mirror way out west You know you’re something special and you look like you’re the best. Her name is rio […]

New Religion (a Dialogue Between The Ego And The Alter Ego) - Rio

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 […]

My Own Way - Rio

Lonely In Your Nightmare - Rio

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 […]

Last Chance On The Stairway - Rio

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 […]

Hungry Like The Wolf - Rio

(ha ha!) Dark in the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a fire Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do Woman you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do-do do do, do do do, do do […]

Hold Back The Rain - Rio

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 […]
