Seven and the Ragged Tiger lyrics

You've gone too far this time but I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around with my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it another day to make my stand oh-woah
High time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand oh-whoa
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I've said it again but could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren as if I could ever hide

Last time la luna I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday

"You gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand

CHORUS
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it

(words and music: Duran Duran)

I shed my skin
When the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but
I'm walking back, tonight,
Of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don't want to be in public,
My head is full of chopstick I don't like it.

Something on my mind..
Breaking open doors I sealed up before,
Something on my mind..
Makes me run when I thought I'd run too far.

Shackeled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than all of their roar
With the heat off the planet's core

But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend to a tune of it's own

Shackeled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than all of their roar
With the heat off the planet's core

But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend to a tune of it's own

Why did you let me run when you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole where a heart should be
Liar couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
Just take a look before you run off and hide at your victim arise

Clouds on the shoulder aren't they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather when the storm is about to blow
Oh Now (crime and passion) dont look away

Those words are all remainders echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naievity's star
Awakened all those whispers the dusty shadow of a passing favor
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows one thing for sure you never answered when I called

I shed my skin when the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don't wanna be in public my head is full of chopstick I don't like it
Something on my mind breaking open doors I've sealed up before
Something on my mind makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you

What is happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the nightbird I recognize?
gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have survived
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world

Instrumental

Those words are all remainders echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naievity's star
Awakened all those whispers the dusty shadow of a passing favor
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows one thing for sure you never answered when I called

Telegram force and ready I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing my senses together
And I think it's about to break
If I listen close I can hear them singers oh-oh-oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio-oh-oh

The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break through the borderline

Instrumental

Midnight I think I'm gonna make it
Through the magical lash and the roll and the crash in their lives
Headline in tomorrows papers
Kill that light it's so bright and you're shining it right in my eyes

Show me your secret and tell me your name catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again what it is that I recognise

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you
Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces

Oh, it'll take a little time,
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside

You've gone too far this time but I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around with my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it another day to make my stand oh-woah
High time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand oh-whoa
Why don't you use it try not to bruise it buy time don't lose it

(words and music: Duran Duran)

I shed my skin
When the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but
I'm walking back, tonight,
Of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don't want to be in public,
My head is full of chopstick I don't like it.

Something on my mind..
Breaking open doors I sealed up before,
Something on my mind..
Makes me run when I thought I'd run too far.

Why did you let me run when you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole where a heart should be
Liar couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
Just take a look before you run off and hide at your victim arise

Clouds on the shoulder aren't they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather when the storm is about to blow
Oh Now (crime and passion) dont look away

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
