Lyrics I've Seen Rio In Flames - Electric Six

I've Seen Rio In Flames

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 spun of glass
How do you say let’s keeping 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!
…Flames…Flames
Now what’s it gonna be?
Will you take a 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
When 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 convenient 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!
FLAMES!
FLAMES… FLAMES!
I’ve made a fortune
I’ve made a fortune
I’ve made a fortune
I’ve made a fortune
I’ve made a fortune
I’ve made a fortune
