lyrics

Duran Duran dies in the end
and Christopher Tracy doesn't last
What's the lesson to be drawn
all depends how time is passed

So what's a little tragedy
so long as it's not you or me
everything will turn out fine
But everything that seems okay
can suddenly be taken away
and someone always ends up left behind

Capa set the sun on fire
just like Donnie sacrificed
sometimes you have to lose yourself
to leave someone to carry on

So what's a little tragedy
so long as it's not you or me
everything will turn out fine
But everything that seems okay
can suddenly be taken away
and someone always ends up left behind

and I don't mean to be the one to give it away
but I don't think I'd be the one to take the plane

So what's a little tragedy
so long as it's not you or me
everything will turn out fine
But everything that seems okay
can suddenly be taken away
and someone always ends up left behind
So what's a little tragedy
so long as it's not you or me
everything will turn out fine
