I've Seen Rio In Flames - Electric Six

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
