[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
The body stirs and is reanimated
Only briefly
But then life is very brief

[Outro]
Venice drowning[x4]

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.
