A View to a Kill Lyrics
Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill
Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making
Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
A week is why, until we...
[Chorus]
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
[Verse 2]
The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still
The first crystal tears fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench your skin in lover's rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we...
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see is the view to a kill
About
Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” is the title track of Roger Moore’s last James Bond movie, released in 1985. It is the most successful 007 theme in North America, hitting #1 in the Hot 100 in the summer of 1985.
It inspired a memorable music video where singer Simon Le Bon has his spy day (even sharing the Eiffel Tower with the actual film). Much better than movie’s actual credits, too cheesy and 80s for their own good…

During a 2012 interview with the AV Club, John Taylor commented:
Bond songs have to be big songs, don’t they? They have to have the grandiosity. It’s like designing a Rolls-Royce. You want it to be completely state of the art, but it’s always going to have the honking great radiator grill on the front. There’s certain criteria that have to be fulfilled. But I think we nailed it with that song. We really did nail it.
