Electric Six - I've Seen Rio In Flames lyrics

Step out into the street
Where the men and women meet
And feel yourself giving into the gas
When you're under my spell
You're safe from living hell
You're smothered in a curtain smog of glass

How do you say "Let's keep fighting on
Fighting on"?
Where is the blue sky you keep writing on
Writing on?
This is the place where you and I belong
I belong

I've made every lover change her name
I've made a fortune betting
On the beautiful game
I've kept my destiny tucked away in shame
And I've seen Rio in flames
I've seen Rio in flames

Now what's it gonna be?
Will you take the chance and step out with me
Or keep living with the
Fiends that broke you?
The pain of love cuts deep
You were about to go into a permanent sleep
And my destiny awoke you

How do you say "Let's make
Love" all the time?
In this translation, my words
They never rhyme
And this needs an extra twist of lime

I've made every lover change her name
I've made a fortune betting
On the beautiful game
I've kept my destiny tucked away in shame
And I've seen Rio in flames
I've seen Rio in flames
