Venice Drowning Lyrics

Duran Duran Venice Drowning

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]
