Duran Duran - El Diablo lyrics

Weigh their innocence

Only the brightest shine

but not forever

Many lights die, many tears rain

When those tears run dry

On a mountain madness day

You were just in time

for a foolish deal for love I sold

I can't stand another howling day

inside this empty skin

While the beacons burn I'll say

await return from so far away

CHORUS

One life with the devil do I play

for so long el diablo is to blame

Oh el diablo, el diablo, won't you sell me back my soul?

Oh el diablo, el diablo, won't you sell me back my soul?

The wedding is on the wind, does she blow my way?

She can dance and she can sing

she will tear your heart away

While the promise burns I'll stay

and will you return from so far away?

CHORUS (x2)

One life but the devil is in my way
