I Take the Dice Lyrics
Midnight I think I'm gonna make it
Through the magical lash and the roll and the crash
In their lives
Headline in tomorrow's papers
Kill that light it's so bright and you're shining it
Right in my eyes.
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how to believe
In your advice
Just this once I take the dice.
Midnight so what's the point of faking
When a kiss or a whisper could pull out
A desperate prize
Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelets
Make them pay for their chances with money
They don't think that's nice.
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how to believe
In your advice
Just this once I take the dice.
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
(I take the dice)
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
(I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
(I take the dice)
[repeat] [fade]
Through the magical lash and the roll and the crash
In their lives
Headline in tomorrow's papers
Kill that light it's so bright and you're shining it
Right in my eyes.
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how to believe
In your advice
Just this once I take the dice.
When a kiss or a whisper could pull out
A desperate prize
Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelets
Make them pay for their chances with money
They don't think that's nice.
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how to believe
In your advice
Just this once I take the dice.
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
(I take the dice)
Catch me with your fizzy smile
(I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize
(I take the dice)

This song reminds me of Rio a little bit. It's one of my favorite Duran Duran songs.
I am so confused. To me, Rio is a place, nothing more. What am I missing???

I could be wrong but, I suspect the original poster might be referring to the song named after that city on the artists eponymous album.

My very favourite DD song ever! Shame it's so unheard of, it's definitely a great one. Ahhh I could listen to this song for days on end...
I didn't understand exactly why someone would think this was like "Rio" at first. Then I realized it caters to the same heady, '80's young jet-setter sentiment. If you were young, beautiful, loaded with cash, and had no cares in the world, every day would sound a little like this.
