I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs 'n things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
Don't go there boy

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

[Chorus 1]
[Backing vocal lead vocal]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
Take another chance, ??
You can take him if you're fast
I might believe this time
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last

[Chorus 2]
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist and stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

[Chorus 3]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
So why is he trying to follow me?
You're singing out of tune
But the beats in time
And it's us who make the noise
How many reasons do they need?
Take another chance, ??
You can take him if you're fast
I might believe this time
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners in regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane they carry their cross make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth there lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
Why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might believe this time
You're singing out of tune
But the beats in time
And it's us who make the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion

Oh, I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
Oh, I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion

Oh, I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
Oh, I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion
[repeat Chorus and fade]

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.
