Duran Duran
"New Religion"


I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there man it's no go

(Don't go there boy)

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it reason
Maybe catch her don't know how
Too many things too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me
(Take another chance boy carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast)
So why is he trying to follow me?
(Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last)
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice)
I might just believe this time
(You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
and it's us who make the noise)

I'm talking for free I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see I can't help myself, it's a new religion

Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
but someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil follows me
(Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners
in regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things)
So why does he try to bother me?
Walking in formation down the lane
they carry their cross make a church bell ring)
How many reasons do they need?
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth
That a man is just a fool

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
