Venice Drowning - Lyrics by Duran Duran


Lyrics
Venice breathing shy chimeras of sex and violence in the purple evening silence

Venice dreaming of a partner

Fill you arms with breasts of marble from the cradle to the table

Coax this naked treasure from your savior


Come swim into my love come swim into my life


Divine blasphemer tempting holding beads of jism with a scarlet chatachisim

Her lips will answer oh her lips will answer

How to be the perfect stranger the perfect lover wanting

And as you'll discover giving and as you'll discover being


Come swim into my love come swim into my life

Into the sublime corrosion venice drowning in emotion


The body stirs and is reanimated only briefly but then life is very brief

Come swim in to my love, come swim into my life


Venice drowning, venice drowning, venice drowning, venice drowning, Venice drowning

Venice drowning (
Slowly disappearing) / (
Repeat and fade) Downtown

Deliver us from evil we go with the flow

Here's a little secret I think you ought to know

Providers and abusers they know where to go

With Sunday Refugees from Sunday TV shows


Downtown all of the way down, downtown all of the way downtown

Downtown all of the way down, downtown all of the way downtown


Sink imagination it's you wildest wild (all of the way downtown)

Go way below, below, below is it such a crime

The uptown can't teach you how to live they don't have the time

Cause where I'm gonna take you is a state of mind


Downtown all of the way down, downtown all of the way downtown

Downtown all of the way down, downtown all of the way downtown
(downtown) You better learn to use your heart (downtown)

You gotta use your money you better use it all up

Cause you can't take it with you when you're going down


You'll never come home again you'll never come home again

And you'll never be alone all of the way downtown all of the way

You'll never come home agian you'll never come home again

And you'll never be alone all of the way downtown all of the way
[
Repeat ad lib and fade]
