Duran Duran Red Carpet Massacre Lyrics

Red Carpet Massacre Lyrics

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 cruise, send out 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 wanna hassle you

Red carpet massacre

Death stalk paparazzi, yeah



Red carpet massacre

It's gonna 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

Any place 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 wanna hassle you

Red carpet massacre

Death stalk paparazzi, yeah



Red carpet massacre

Don't wanna mess with you

Now it's time, next in line

We're so busted, done and dusted
