The Man Who Stole A Leopard —— Duran Duran
Do you know where we are
I'm longing for the dark
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don't spill my secret
You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game in bonds - I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you silently preyed on me
I made my way back home (did you follow her)
I handled her with care (quiet and controlled)
So elegant and sleek (when I'm not afraid)
I need her to be near (does she belong to you )
Don't spill my secret
You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game in bonds - I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you silently preyed on me
Deserted by my friends (don't they understand )
She so much more than them (how could they compare )
So now she's just for me (no one else can say)
I watch her while she sleeps (for sure she naps on you)
Don't spill my secret
It's been quite a while
Since we were last outside
Can't lie I'll miss the chance
Now that we both partake
Can silence kill the cat
Prisoners of our thoughts
The smell will throw us out
Don't spill my secret
Newscast:
"Today a man was taken from his apartment on the New Jersey shore
And arrested Under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal
Police' after forced entry' Discovered a caged leopard in the building
The fully grown feline was said To be surprisingly domesticated
Before preparing her for relocation
A large crowd is gathered outside to watch the beautiful creature
As a giant Cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane
From here' the leopard Was transferred into
The back of a truck for the journey ahead
A thoughtful Onlooker said it's extraordinary to think that
Any human being could have Lived so
Silently with such a dangerous animal
Police are saying the captive has simply befriended
The creature and barely left her side
It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild
And expertly forged documents to facilitate her illegal export
To the United States of America
The incident has already created much controversy
And is now likely to lead to a major international investigation
Into the life of the man who stole a leopard"
