Duran Duran - New Religion (A Dialogue Between The Ego And The Alter Ego) Lyrics

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 and
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 treason (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 (Coming 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 beats
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 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)

(3rd verse) (chorus) (chorus)
