Red Carpet Massacre

Duran Duran Red Carpet Massacre Lyrics
1.The Valley

These are days of Hit and Run
In the stream with everyone
These are moments of our lives

On a wondering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I've been walking
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I Believe it!

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I Believe it!
When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
Then the light starts looking mischievious
Finding revelation
Outta desperation
Always stretching time
But it's never long enough

Think your happy
Think your free
Maybe we're just
Comfortably decieved
But I'm runnin'
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I Believe it!
Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I Believe it!
I've been runnin'
When I think I'm being strong
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I Believe it!
Through the cities
And the towers
Turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it,
Yes I need it, I believe it!


2.Red Carpet Massacre

Dark sun rose on the ridge
cut clear across the sky
As good a day as any to die
No reservation madam
No reason to know why
Running late stiletto heels
Try to loosen up the wheels (?) or
You spend your life in
Trying to cruise them double wheels
preparation for this day
Breathe in the air;
it's loaded with fame
Check out those weapons
sister before you hit the fray
String of pearls meet bits of gems
Enter the battle of the lenses
Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
It's going to mess with you
We're in business
You're on the hit list

There's not so many now
still standing on their feet
Their knives are out and singing so sweet
Engage with sharper minds that
cut you when you meet
Anyplace to mess around
When someone wants to take you down
Maybe you think you're above this
But baby we know that you love it
Baby you know where to shove it
Apply your lipstick
Fore dying in public
Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
Don't want to mess with you
Now it's time
Next in line
We're so busted
Done and dusted


3.Nite Runner

You're nocturnal,
only come out at night

And I'm learning all the ways

'Cause you're on the roam
but not until the darkness arrives
And I'm certain,
I'll catch up to you one of these times baby,

(I must be feeling something)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride
(I wonder if you see me coming)

4.Falling Down

Once was a man who consumed
his place and time
He thought nothing could touch him

But here and now it's a different storyline
Like the straw he is clutching

Why has the sky turned grey
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
And why has my life gone astray
Scarred by disgrace,
I know that its over
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
Howl at the wind rushing
past my lonely head
Caught inside its own motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead
Howling at all this corrosion
Why did the luck run dry
Laugh in my face,
so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can
no longer hurt me
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone
out there to help me?
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone
out there to help me?
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone
out there to help me?
Because I'm falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone
out there to help me?
I don't know. why
I don't know. why


5.Box Full O' Honey

At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
And all good sense that tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm tremblin' on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the the murmur

Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
My life's penitence
For what?
What's so funny?
A Box full o' honey

What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A scratching at the hurt
That I so generously did leave you
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I where your crown
Some cruel penitence
For what?
What's so funny?
A Box full o' honey
Is she flirting with me now?
Is she dallying with me now?
Are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my queen of
tumble down
Miss Melancholy
Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence
For what?
What's so funny?
Ain't it funny?
A Box full o' honey


6.Skin Divers

Walking under skies
Waiting for the fall
Meet me at the cornershop
I'll show you it all
Free you of your mind
Something you wont find
In the west-end pages
with your google dirty fingers
It's a skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets,
all night
Dip into the water
Baby, that's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
Wipe us of the face
Of the human race
Whichever way you look
it's indisposed or disgraced
Fighting on the shore
The hoi polloi want more
Howling bloody murder
but it's nothing just a murmur
In your skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets,
all night
Slip into the water
Baby....that's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

A blushing rose is torn
From these sugar walls
I've misplaced my future
could I please borrow yours?
Panic on the scene
You know what I mean
Anything you want to be
the only thing you want from me
Is skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets,
all night
Go inside the water
Babygirl you're swimming
A little too deep
So deep...
that I think you might hit a reef
I think you low on oxygen
And you're too glad to leave
Babygirl swim to the top
Grab my hand and hold me and breathe

Baby....that's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like
when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

You require a little bit more

8.Tricked Out


9.Zoom In

Stood on the line

I've been waiting forever

In the wind and snow
In the filthy weather

I'm ZOOMIN' In on you on you
Don't look back LM Wright is a fantastic attack
Don't look back LM Wright is a fantastic attack
Don't look back LM Wright is a fantastic attack

10.She's Too Much

She's gentle to the touch
She's everything head first
So happy to be causing trouble
Sometimes the pressure gets to much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Christmas bauble
I'll be there when the world
is coming down upon her
When she's scared,
I'll be there fighting in her corner
She cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything is supposed
to make us tougher
Thinking it doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bear to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world
is coming down upon her
When she's scared,
I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls
are closing to surround her
In the air as she falls
with my arms around her
Holding on I'm looking out
for her thin skin
Because she's everything
And I don't think she knows
She is such a gentle touch
She's too much,
a gentle touch

She likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind
whatever keeps it burning
Someday she might
just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this apocalypse is coming
I'll be there when the world
is coming down upon her
When she's scared,
I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are
closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with
my arms around her
Holding on I'm looking out
for her thin skin
Because she's everything
But I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
She is too much a gentle touch
I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
She is such a gentle touch
She is such a gentle touch
I don't think she knows
She's too much, a gentle touch


11.Dirty Great Monster

There's a Dirty Great Monster
in this house
we pretend that it's not there
and there's no escape from it's it's grip
but nobody seems to care
Do you ever wonder?
about the days when we were staright
but daddy got the hunger
so much to hide
we learned to lie
So watch yourself in the hallway
you're not supposed to know

cause we're all afraid of each other
we're the victims in this show
Well do you ever wonder
about the days
when we were straight?
when daddy got the hunger
too much to hide,
we learned to lie
silently outnumbered
we made mistakes,
when we were straight
now we're all going under
so with a silence
we say goodbye...


12.Last Man Standing

Now an unexpected peace comes to the day
as the howliing and the fighting dies away
when the hanging dust is clearing from the air
you can just make out a lonely figure there
He's the last man standing on the track
he does not look down
he does not look back
He's the last man standing on the track
you can't hold him down
you can't hold him back
He's the last man standing on the track
he does not look down
he does not look back
He's the last man standing on the track
you can't hold him down
you can't hold him back
He is sorry for the wrong
that he has done
and he cries out for the
anger born so long
all the cuts and bruises suffered in whose name?
Oh, but now is not the time
to face his shame

He's the last man standing on the track
he does not look down
he does not look back
He's the last man standing on the track
you can't hold him down
you can't hold him back
He's the last man standing on the track
he does not look down
he does not look back
He's the last man standing on the track
you can't hold him down
you can't hold him back
