Duran Duran - Venice Drowning lyrics

sexual heires of sex and violence

in the purple evening silence

venice dreaming of a partner

velour arms with breasts of marble

from the cradle t the table

coax this naked treasure

from your saviour

come swim into my love

come swim into my life

divine blasphemer

tempting--over beads of jism

with a scarlet catechism

her lips will answer

(oh, her lips will answer)

how to be ther perfect stranger

the perfect lover

wanting

and as you'll discover

giving

and as you'll discover

being

come swim into my love

come swim into my life

enter this sublime erosion

venice drowning in emotion

the body stirs

and is reanimated

but only briefly--

and that life is very brief

venice drowning

venice drowning

venice drowning

venice drowning
