"Point Of No Return"

The random aspects of our lives
Come together once in a while
So blinding and decidedly
Naivete falls from our eyes
And we'll not regain
As we watch the tower falling down

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

You know, you know there's no avoiding
The lesson to be learned
The lesson to be learned
The point of no return
You say "What if?"
But can you live it?
It's all that we deserve
It's all that we deserve
The point of no return

Don't blame yourself
Don't blame me
But we're the ones
Who can feed the ground
So this poison tree, don't let it grow again
And from this glass and broken earth
There is a way that can be built
A better life for everyone

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

"Pop Trash Movie"

Saw a close up of your pretty face
Overnight sensation
Smiling for cameras
From all around the world
If I rewind back to yesterday
And stop the tape there
No one knew who you were
But now they're at your door

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for just a few minutes
Part of a celluloid dream

Watching slow-mo going frame-by-frame
Might have blurred my vision
Your life went flashing by
Where did it all go wrong?

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream

I'll wait in the wings for you
I'll read your lines to you
But now the script is final you know, it's time to go
So we'll have to say goodbye

I'm living in a pop trash movie
We star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for those fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream
We star in every scene
And it's never quite what it seems

(Never)

I'm living in a pop trash movie
I know we'll make it with that pop trash - yeah
We'll all be famous for those fifteen minutes
Part of a celluloid dream, yeah

"Pressure Off"
(feat. Janelle Monáe & Nile Rodgers)

[Duran Duran:]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

[Duran Duran:]
Past is another country
The present will never last
The future, it's still tomorrow
Are we living too fast?

[Duran Duran:]
Searchlight the crowd, I fix on your face
I know it well, but it's a dream I can't place
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah, it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
It's up to you now
It's time to take the pressure off
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Duran Duran:]
Steppin'
Steppin'

It's time to take the pressure off

[Duran Duran:]
We're swimming with the rat-race
We're running against the tide
And it's everybody's business
When there's nowhere to hide

[Duran Duran:]
Searchlight the crowd, I'm fixed onto you
There's a way out of this into the blue
Something is happening to me
Maybe it's happening to you, you, you, you

[Duran Duran & Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere, feel it in the air
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future

It's time to take the pressure off

[Duran Duran:]
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out, and jumpin' up and
Pressure off, pressure off, pressure pressure pressure off

[Janelle Monáe:]
I'm lost don't wanna be found
I'm up not gonna be down be down
Outside looking into myself
Just me I couldn't be anyone else
Is it bad when you're feeling this good?
Are we all misunderstood?
It's fine going out of my mind
Going out of my mind, going out of my mind

[Janelle Monáe:]
Everybody everywhere (yeah), feel it in the air (whoo!)
Oh yeah (oh yeah), it's time to take the pressure off
Everybody everywhere, step out into the future
It's time to take the pressure off

"Pretty Ones"

Pony up girl, show and tell - go Chanel on crocodile
Hipster low slung lazy feet
Hit the street latino style

Going down to the disco
Where she's gonna star in some fiasco
Anywhere the party's on
Break of day - San Tropez to Fresno, she's the type

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

Here she comes, off the rail - DNA laced with nicotine
Shame the sun
Walking proud, talking loud for all you glamour queens

We're going down to the disco
And we're gonna grind out a floor show
Everyday's a change 'round the world - Daddy's girl wherever she may be

And another thing... (you pretty ones)
We love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
Older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
Love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
La la la la la

"Proposition"

"Bring back that child," she said.
Spare me the price of freedom.
Cold is my baby's head,
Blown by the wind of reason.
Even the rage behind
Cries out to see
We're still standing
Under the closing edge.
Pay for the crime of feeling.

When all your pride is dead
You must be scared instead.

[CHORUS]
A quiet word is my Proposition.
A promise made of a fierce day.
A body bleeds for this coalition.
Without surrender if you stay.

"Show me my youth," she cried.
Wasted for desolation.
Hold up the sacrifice.
Pull down your institution.
Resting while anger flies.
Question's the same.
Who's deciding after the clouds have lain.
Shame on your generation.

When all your guilt lies dead
You must be scared instead.

[CHORUS]

When all your pain lies dead
You must be scared instead.

[CHORUS (Repeating for FADE. Vocal ad lib.)]

"Read My Lips"

(ROCK IT!)

I got something
You got nothing to lose
I could give you
So much more than you're used to
Move a little closer
Maybe we can slip away

Right now we could use a little privacy
All too much attention from your friends in here
Move a little closer
Trust me
I'm not on the make
(That's a lie)
If I could pull you over
C'mon lady, what d'you say

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips

It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my--
(lips)

Part of you wanna get lucky
Part of you wanna go trade
Part of you wanna come looking
Part of you want to stay.....

(ROCK IT)

Get a grip
Don't resist
Read my lips

It's a trip
Ain't a risk
Read my lips

She's all mine...

"Red Carpet Massacre"

Dark sun rose on the ridge cut clear across the sky
As good a day as any to die
No reservation madam
No reason to know why
Running late stiletto heels
Try to loosen up the wheels

You spend your life in preparation for this day
Breathe in the air; it's loaded with fame
Check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray
String of pearls meet bits of gems
Enter the battle of the lenses

Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
It's going to mess with you
We're in business
You're on the hit list

There's not so many now still standing on their feet
Their knives are out and singing so sweet
Engage with sharper minds that cut you when you meet
Anyplace to mess around
When someone wants to take you down

Maybe you think you're above this
But baby we know that you love it
Baby you know where to shove it
Apply your lipstick
'Fore dying in public

Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
Don't want to mess with you
Now it's time
Next in line
We're so busted
Done and dusted

"Runway Runaway"

At the door, blowing a kiss
She's careful not to wake her sister
Knowing that she will be missed
It feels a little bad, girl

On the corner, engine runnin'
Taxi driver sees her comin'
Chilly in the morning sun
She seems a little sad

Say goodbye
She's not afraid of leaving
No one by her side, nothing to hang on

Wave goodbye to everything familiar
There's a world to find
Runway runaway just run away

Looking back she sees the pattern
Hidden princess in the attic
Realize this picture that is more than she will hope for

Happy when her heart is jumping
Desperately seeking something
Trying to be strong enough to choose another road

Say goodbye
She's not afraid of leaving
No one by her side, nothing to hang on

Wave goodbye to everything familiar
There's a world to find
Runway runaway just run away

Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway, runaway
Runway runaway just run away
Runway runaway...

"Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment)"
(feat. Ana Matronic)

People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe, I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?

Fame seems a far-off day
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

Strange, how we explain the story that we've lived through
Change, my karma train, the person I can be for you is

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Dazed by my own escape
From the single state I was used to
Face my Catch-22
Can I stay this way if I choose to?

Wrong, to be so contained, now I can't explain what is happening
Strong, is the human chain, as it pulls me through, what I bring to you is

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Fame seems a far-off date
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

Hook a finger, wink an eye
Caresses running up your thigh
Scratch my surface, dig in deep
There's always secrets left to keep
Safe not sound, who made these rules?
Crowd control for enlightened fools
So come on, boy, let's change the pace
Come feel the chill of my embrace

People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe, I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

"Salt In The Rainbow"

Something to remember
In some far off time
When you get that lonely shine in your eye

Dreams and lovers
Ever wonder why
When everything starts breaking down
They're reaching for the sky

We are forever
All we understand
This is forever
Here within our hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)

Picking through the pieces
And what do you have at all?
Just the danger of relying on those who'd let you fall

So you try, try much harder
Until the truth is drawn
The very thing you've been searching for
Has been yours all along

We are forever
All we understand
This is forever
Here within our hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)

In the end, to you my friend
It's you I've got to know
Ain't no going back now

Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing,
I'd do it all over
Just a minute now
And breathe a little deeper
All these moments of our lives

Of the flickering of an endless sea
We're ripples
With the salt in the rainbow

We are forever
All we understand (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)
This is forever
Here within our hands (forever, together, we're gonna live forever)
