[Verse 1]
Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Sh......
Lies on a stranger's bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never expected, but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car
All night parties, cocktail bars and smile
When the butterfly escapes the killing jar

[Chorus 1]
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

[Verse 2]
Freefall on a windy morning shore
Nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you'd ever been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud
Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder
Racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow you'll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you'll wonder

[Chorus 1]x2

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.
