Duran Duran's "New Moon On Monday"

During the chorus, I thought it was:

Actually it's, "New Moon on Monday, and a firedance through the night".

D'oh! :p

I'm not sure even the guys in Duran Duran knew what the hell they meant by their own lyrics. Like, just about ever. I'm not saying that to be down on them as musicians--I have every album up to Big Thing, plus some rare 12" remix singles...and some 45s, including "View to a Kill" which I bought new in 1985...an a rare import EP that the used-record store owner didn't realized was autographed by the bass player until after he sold it to me for $7...and some side project albums like 'So Red the Rose' and 'Thunder'...and because I was raised by hippies I still own a working turntable (3, actually).
