Lyrics
Enter newborn players and gather, 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 becons burn i'll say Await return from so far away.. One life, with the devil do i play For so long, el diablo is to blame Oh..oh..oh.. [ Duran Duran Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] 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 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? One life within the devil do i play It's been so long, el diablo is to blame One life with the devil do i play For so long, el diablo is to blame One life, but the devil is in my ways Oh..oh..oh
