[Verse 1]
Too close to the sun
Clouded light in the eyes
Slipping into your pain
Pain till it heals
Gone to my toes
Mighty, ah high times

[Chorus]
You're looking out for something
Some escape from
The antique dark of nothing new
Automatic sky out where the cupids dare to climb
Soon these pretty feathers burn
As you'll discover
When you fly too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun

[Verse 2]
Stay while you're by
Back for a night not back for long
Salon it's unfolding by the time we realise
Ah, High

[Chorus]
You're looking out for something
Some escape from
The antique dark of nothing new
Automatic sky out where the cupids dare to climb
Soon these pretty feathers burn
As you'll discover
When you fly too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun
Too close to the sun

DURAN DURAN has a total of over 80 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on five continents. They’ve managed to fuse pop music, art, technology and fashion with a unique sense of style and confidence. Princess Diana also admitted that Duran Duran was her favourite Band among others.

Bassist John Taylor has said the original vision for the band’s sound was ‘to fuse the Sex Pistols and Chic’ after hearing those two bands back-to-back on a pub jukebox one night.
