    Lyrics:
    I could feel the breeze blowing chance
    Blowing through my doorway
    Warm and restless just as you walked by
    Inside of smoky halls a circle drawn
    And voices call
    To raise some magic wind in my world
    Strange coincidence each time you look my way
    This sinking feeling scares me
    Know my weakness call it dejavu
    Never puy my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late
    Why should I be surprised by you
    Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
    How do you dare step into my flame
    One from the heart, one for this precious shining
    How can you steel my flame
    Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
    The waiting game is over
    Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
    Don't give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
    Don't give me any chances at all

    Duran Duran are one of the very best bands of all time. Unfortunately their work wasn't rated as it should have been. Many considered them one of those glamorous 80ies bands, some kind of boy band ante litteram, but they were and are great musicians and artists.

    I've never seen this. What a treat! I watched it over and over.
    The video gives me vibes of a mix of Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hotel California (the song, not vid). I love the cameo by John. Especially since at the time, nobody knew that DD would get back together. I love that Simon changed his voice tone a bit, to distinguish from DD. And no matter how nerdy they try to make Simon look, he still looks so handsome. Nick looks fantastic, more striking than ever. Gonna watch again!

    One of my favorite songs ever as you can tell by my online name. Never get tired of watching the video...Simon's acting on it is so funny and cute! 😅 I used to have a bad vhs copy of the making of this video and the other Arcadia videos.

    Nick really had much fun in this video LOLL. Especially when he got Simon's face in the cake and giggling at John
