Duran Duran

Venice breeding shy chimeras

Of sex and violence

In the purple evening silence

Venice dreaming of a partner

Fills your hands with breasts of marble

From the cradle to the table

Coax this naked treasure from

Your saviour

Come swim into my love

Come swim into my life

Divine blasphemer tempting

Holy beads of jism

With the scarlet catechism

Her lips will answer

(oh, her lips will answer)

How to be ther 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

Enter this sublime corrosion

Venice drowning in emotion

The body stirs and is reanimated

Only briefly--

But then life is very brief

Venice drowning

Venice drowning

Venice drowning

Venice drowning
