"Playing With Uranium"

"Playing With Uranium"


In for an evening
Of light entertainment
And who would believe you
Could worry the neighbours?
Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
If it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

We go undiscovered
'Cause people are careless
One way or another
They'll never forget us

Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
And if it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place
Never be the same again
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

Playing with uranium
Playing with uranium
Never be the same again
Because we're playing with uranium

"Point Of No Return"

"Point Of No Return"


The random aspects of our lives
Come together once in a while
So blinding and decidedly
Naivete falls from our eyes
And we'll not regain
As we watch the tower falling down
Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want
You know, you know there's no avoiding
The lesson to be learned
The lesson to be learned
The point of no return
You say "What if?"
But can you live it?
It's all that we deserve
It's all that we deserve
The point of no return
Don't blame yourself
Don't blame me
But we're the ones
Who can feed the ground
So this poison tree, don't let it grow again
And from this glass and broken earth
There is a way that can be built
A better life for everyone
Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

"Pop Trash Movie"

"Pop Trash Movie"


Saw a close up of your pretty face
Overnight sensation
Smiling for cameras
From all around the world
If I rewind back to yesterday
And stop the tape there
No one knew who you were
But now they're at your door

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for just a few minutes
Part of a celluloid dream

Watching slow-mo going frame-by-frame
Might have blurred my vision
Your life went flashing by
Where did it all go wrong?

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream

I'll wait in the wings for you
I'll read your lines to you
But now the script is final you know, it's time to go
So we'll have to say goodbye

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for those fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream
We star in every scene
And it's never quite what it seems

(Never)

I'm living in a pop trash movie
I know we'll make it with that pop trash - yeah
We'll all be famous for those fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream, yeah

(feat. Janelle Monáe & Nile Rodgers)



[Duran Duran:]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off
[Duran Duran:]
Past is another country
The present will never last
The future, it's still tomorrow
Are we living too fast?
[Duran Duran:]
Searchlight the crowd, I fix on your face
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you
[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah, it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off
[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
[Duran Duran:]
Steppin'
Steppin'

It's time to take the pressure off
[Duran Duran:]
We're swimming with the rat-race
We're running against the tide
And it's everybody's business
When there's nowhere to hide
[Duran Duran:]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed onto you
There's a way out of this into the blue
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you
[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future

Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off
[Janelle Monáe:]
I'm lost don't wanna be found
I'm up not gonna be down be down
Outside looking into myself
Just me I couldn't be anyone else
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
Are we all misunderstood?
It's fine going out of my mind
Going out of my mind, going out of my mind
[Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere (yeah), feel it in the air (whoo!)
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future

"Pretty Ones"

"Pretty Ones"


Pony up girl, show and tell - go Chanel on crocodile
Hipster low slung lazy feet
Hit the street latino style

Going down to the disco
Where she's gonna star in some fiasco
Anywhere the party's on
Break of day - San Tropez to Fresno, she's the type

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

Here she comes, off the rail - DNA laced with nicotine
Shame the sun
Walking proud, talking loud for all you glamour queens

We're going down to the disco
And we're gonna grind out a floor show
Everyday's a change 'round the world - Daddy's girl wherever she may be

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

"Proposition"

"Proposition"


"Bring back that child," she said.
Spare me the price of freedom.
Cold is my baby's head,
Blown by the wind of reason.
Even the rage behind
Cries out to see
We're still standing
Under the closing edge.
Pay for the crime of feeling.
When all your pride is dead
You must be scared instead.
[CHORUS]
A quiet word is my Proposition.
A promise made of a fierce day.
A body bleeds for this coalition.
Without surrender if you stay.
"Show me my youth," she cried.
Wasted for desolation.
Hold up the sacrifice.
Pull down your institution.
Resting while anger flies.
Question's the same.
Who's deciding after the clouds have lain.
Shame on your generation.
When all your guilt lies dead
You must be scared instead.
[CHORUS]
When all your pain lies dead
You must be scared instead.
[CHORUS (Repeating for FADE. Vocal ad lib.)]

"Read My Lips"

"Read My Lips"


(ROCK IT!)

I got something
You got nothing to lose
I could give you
So much more than you're used to
Move a little closer
Maybe we can slip away

Right now we could use a little privacy
All too much attention from your friends in here
Move a little closer
Trust me
I'm not on the make
(That's a lie)
If I could pull you over
C'mon lady, what d'you say

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips

It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my--
(lips)

Part of you wanna get lucky
Part of you wanna go trade
Part of you wanna come looking
Part of you want to stay.....

(ROCK IT)

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips

It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips

She's all mine...

"Red Carpet Massacre"

"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
You spend your life in 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

 

[fox69]

"Rio"

"Rio"


Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

"Runway Runaway"

"Runway Runaway"


At the door, blowing a kiss
She's careful not to wake her sister
Knowing that she will be missed
It feels a little bad, girl
On the corner, engine runnin'
Taxi driver sees her comin'
Chilly in the morning sun
She seems a little sad
Say goodbye
She's not afraid of leaving
No one by her side, nothing to hang on
Wave goodbye to everything familiar
There's a world to find
Runway runaway just run away
Looking back she sees the pattern
Hidden princess in the attic
Realize this picture that is more than she will hope for
Happy when her heart is jumping
Desperately seeking something
Trying to be strong enough to choose another road
Say goodbye
She's not afraid of leaving
No one by her side, nothing to hang on
Wave goodbye to everything familiar
There's a world to find
Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway, runaway
Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway...
