Duran Duran - Venice Drowning lyrics

Venice breeding shy chimeras Of s** and violence In the purple evening silence Venice dreaming of a partner Fills your hands with breasts of marble From the cradle to the table Coax this naked treasure from Your saviour Come swim into my love Come swim into my life Divine blasphemer tempting Holy beads of jism With the 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 corrosion Venice drowning in emotion The body stirs and is reanimated Only briefly-- But then life is very brief Venice drowning Venice drowning Venice drowning Venice drowning
