Palomino lyrics

Duran Duran

She lays on the wall
Watching the strangers drift away
Mid-day is all thick
With the sun of Arabia

She surrenders her voices
They gather on the wind
Talkin, chanting, breathing
Into her body...yesterday's

Awakened beside
The scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
Painting eyes--thick
With the color she brings in
Always sure and strong
When the lightning tumbles down
Don't you frown
Everything will be
In time for this evening

If there's secrets
She has to be party to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll wonder
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

[synthwash / piano interlude]

If there's secrets
She has to be party to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll know just
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Now I can run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me red instead
Then I will run to you

[repeat to fade]
