[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
Only metal, what a bore!
[Pre-Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon]
Blue eyes, blue eyes
How come you tell so many lies?
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild
[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
[Pre-Chorus 2: Simon Le Bon]
Resist, resist
It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
So come up and see me to make me smile, oh
Or do what you want, running wild
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Simon Le Bon]
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth
[Pre-Chorus 3: Simon Le Bon]
Away, away
And don't say maybe you'll try
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
To come up and see me to make me smile
Or do what you want running wild
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
Only metal, what a bore!
[Pre-Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon]
Blue eyes, blue eyes
How come you tell so many lies?
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon]
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild
[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]
There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
[Pre-Chorus 2: Simon Le Bon]
Resist, resist
It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh
[Chorus: Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor & John Taylor]
So come up and see me to make me smile, oh
Or do what you want, running wild
