Visual Discography: Rio - lyrics

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, wooh, look at that Did he really 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 I tell you something I know what you're thinking I'm telling you something, I know what you're thinking Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twists across the dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand 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...

My Own Way
I saw you at the airace yesterday, April showers get out of my way. Fear of flying no not me. I'm never bothered what you say Someone's kid just lives for today It ain't your problem anyway 'Cos I've got my own way I can find my own way 'Cos I've got my own way Hay yay yay yay yay ya-hay (chrous) (Number 1) Public figure, what a pain Just puts another rattle in your brain Take another green but it's not the same Now you're on the sandlane everyday Dancing with the bulls in any old way Running like a fox to keep up with me. (chorus) (chorus) I'm on 45th, between 6th & Broadway 7UP, between 6th & Broadway (chorus) (chorus) Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Hey now, be there Hmmm busy This is how I like it Yes, settle down Yes, come on, 6th & Broadway Say the words, come coolin' down.

Lonely In Your Nightmare
Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red And when the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in And there's heat beneath your winter let me in I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in Must be lucky whether when you find the kind of wind that you need Come on show me all the light and shade that made your name I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same Because your lonely in your nightmare let me in And it's barren in your garden let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in Because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in And it's cold out on the stone range let me in Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in

Hungry Like the Wolf
Darken the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a afire Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo Woman, you want me, give me a sign And catch my breathing even closer behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd And I'm hungry like the wolf Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf Stalked in the forest, too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine, I'm after you Mouth is alive, all running inside And I'm hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Hungry like the wolf Burning the ground, I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt, I'm after you I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found And I'm hungry like the wolf Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hold Back the Rain
So we're miles away from nowhere And the wind doesn't have a name So call it what you want to call it Still blows down the lane People tell me, I haven't changed at all But I don't feel the same And I bet you've had that feeling too You can't laugh all the time And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame (Hold back the rain) No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again (Hold back the rain) The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane (Hold back the rain) Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain So what if the words ain't rhyming Did you think that it's just a game I probably didn't even say that right And I really don't give a damn Okay, go off and wander I'm guilty just the same Sometimes you're needed badly So please come back again And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame (Hold back the rain) No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again (Hold back the rain) The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane (Hold back the rain) Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain Hold back the rain...

New Religion
I've been now sauntering out and down the path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere which I know Faces everywhere, pulling grins and signs and things Telling me not there man, it's no go I need a reason, I can't think without one now Too much learning, got to show Call it treason, maybe catch her don't know how Too many things, too much to know I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'Cause sometimes people stare, sitting down, electric chair The steaming crowds, they gather and they shout Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me?) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last? (So why are they trying to follow me?) I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice (How many reasons do they need) You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise (I might just believe this time) I'm talking for free I can't stop myself It's a new religion, oh I've got something to see I can't help myself It's a new religion Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime, jabbing fist and stabbing knife You only get one look before you die Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last? (So why are they trying to follow me?) I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice (How many reasons do they need?) You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise (I might just believe this time) I'm talking for free I can't stop myself It's a new religion, oh I've got something to see I can't help myself It's a new religion Oh, gotta take pay for the saints and sinners In regulation hats and scarves and things They walk in formation down the lane They carry their cross, make a church bell ring (Bring the army down) Army majors pull a mean cool truth They're lying in the swimming pool Searching for the undeniable truth That a man is just a fool Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last? (So why are they trying to follow me?) I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice (How many reasons do they need?) You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise (I might just believe this time) I'm talking for free I can't stop myself It's a new religion, oh I've got something to see I can't help myself It's a new religion, yeah I'm talking for free I can't stop myself It's a new religion, oh I've something to see I can't help myself It's a new religion...

Last Chance on the Stairway
I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes, The waves in your hair Maybe its something said in a movie or you could've said last night. Just took me out on a limb And I don't really know what I'm doing here. And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beats so in time, can you look at me I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right I've had my last chance on the stairway. Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire, twisting out of sight cause when all the curtains are pulled back Well turn and see the circles we traced Ain't no game... (oooh) When you're playing with fire It doesn't seem right that we fight So the party runs on all night And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide My beats so in time can you look at me Im out of reach I'll talk if it feels right So nervous to say, tell me can't you see If you want I'll fall out forever I cant say no more... babe dance with me And please don't say leave till later Ive had my last chance on the stairway. Wonder why... (wonder why oooh) You're what makes me rise so high? Maybe its something they put in your perfume, Or the look in your eyes It could be the atmosphere sinking Ooh, I don't even know what you're thinking I don't even know what you're drinking But it keeps this heaven alive (chorus) Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway Last chance on the stairway...

Save A Prayer
You saw me standing by the wall, Corner of a main street And the lights are flashing on your window sill All alone ain't much fun, So you're looking for the thrill And you know just what it takes and where to go Don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after Feel the breeze deep on the inside, Look you down into your well If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire Take a chance (Like all dreamers can't find another way) You don't have to dream it all, just live a day Don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after, Save it till the morning after Pretty looking road, Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise, Melt the ice And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance But fear is in your soul Some people call it a one night stand But we can call it paradise Don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after No, don't say a prayer for me now, Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save it 'til the morning after Save a prayer 'til the morning after

The Chauffeur
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me, so newly charming Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the sky towards some hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Sing blue silver And watching lovers part I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind? To tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies And I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress all shadowy lined The droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart Sing blue silver Sing, sing blue silver...
