The Man Who Stole A Leopard Lyrics - 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 

Chorus: 

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

Chorus 

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 

(Repeat during 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."
