Take another green but it's not the same
Is this a golf reference?? Simon Le Bon loves nonsensical lyrics, I could fill up this whole page with just his stuff.

I stay the cold days, with a lonely satellite
Which means what exactly?

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
Kind of speaks for itself!

I need this blood to survive.
What is he? A vampire?

My eyes are so cloudy
I can't see you now
Look now around
Look all around
How can you look around if your eyes are cloudy and you can't see anyone?

Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
No, don't save a prayer for me now
Save it till the morning after
Save it till the morning after.
Save it till the morning after what? It would help if they'd be more specific; this is just too vague.

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
A reflex isn't a person, it's what happens when a doctor hits your knee with a hammer and your leg kicks up. In this song the reflex appears to be a person who is employed finding treasure in dark places. What sort of job is that and how could you employ a reflex to do it?

Watching over a green clover
isn't that bizarre?
It's not as bizarre as you think.

The wild boys (wild boys) never lose it.
Wild Boys (wild boys) never chose this way.
Wild boys (wild boys) never close their eyes.
Wild boys always shine.
Okay I'm not even going to try to speculate on what this stanza means. All I know is that Simon Lebon seems to say that wild boys don't choose to be the way that they are but they always shine. Yes nice song writing genius.

Voices in your body coming through on the radio
How exactly is that accomplished? Or do I want to know? I still can't make any sense of these lyrics, even after listening to the song many, many times.

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
I would think that if you or I danced into a fire, we'd need something more like a burn unit or something. What we really wouldn't need is someone kissing our burned body and spreading their germs into our wounds.....actually, I think this might actually be a metaphor. Still, it doesn't seem to make a whole lotta sense.
