I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago
I just get a picture of sun in your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night
It just took me out on a limb, and I don't really know what I'm doing here

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beats so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire, twisting out of sight
Cause when all the curtains are pulled back we'll turn and see the circles we've traced
Ain't no game (ooo-ooo) when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight so the party runs all night

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beats so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

Wonder why (wonder why ooo-ooo) what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking ooo I don't even know what you're thinking
I don't even know what you're drinking but it keeps this heaven alive

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beats so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beats so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

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.
