Duran Duran

Wise on a birthday party in a world full of surprising fireworks

And sudden silence shhh

Lying on a strangers bed the new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend

Ever expected but never knocking

Holding your own in a battered car all night parties cocktail bars

And smile when the butterfly escapes the killing jar



Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober



Freefall on a windy morning shore nothing but a fading track of footsteps

Could prove that you never been there

Spoken on a cotton cloud like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind

And lost in distant thunder racing on a shining plain

And tomorrow youll be content to watch as the lightning plays along the wires and youll wonder



Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret oktober
