"American Science" is a song by Duran Duran, released on the album Notorious by Capitol-EMI in 1986.
About the song[]
The song was written by Duran Duran, who also co-produced the track with Nile Rodgers.
The track was remixed and released on a double promo 12" pack called Master Mixes in the US and Hong Kong during June 1987. Rumour has it the remixes were commissioned for a possible fourth single from the Notorious album, which was going to be either "Vertigo" or "American Science", but this release was shelved as the singles for "Skin Trade" and "Meet El Presidente" didn't do so well in the charts.

Lyrics[]
It's a little bit late now, but there's times you will Get a little bit out of hand, making all of a spill. And if we can lay this down, you're going all the way. Take a look and I'll check it out, 'cause I can always find it. Such a lonely place. Ooh. This room without your face. Ooh. CHORUS Ooh. American Science. All night long she can two-step and sway. Ooh, it's such awful manners. Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me. A little megalomania becomes you, evidently. There ain't a thing you can acquire with your cling-wrap plaything. Just look at this state. I crawl around in a daze, like a symptomatic case of your soul persuasion. Such a lonely place. Ooh. This room without your face. Ooh. CHORUS Ooh, it's a little bit later now, And there's time you will Let it all get out of hand When you feel you feel. I just switched on the operation. Such a lovely face. Ooh. It pulls me into place. Ooh. CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)
