LYRICS

I never found out what made you leave
And now the day’s over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night, but you never answered
Just left me ringing on the line

Outside is there anyone out there?

Anyone else outside?

Oh, outside, love.

I s there anyone out there, anyone else outside?

My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean, it does not align
I tried to sleep last night, but I caught you dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside is there anyone out there?

Anyone else outside?

Oh, outside, love.

I s there anyone out there, anyone else outside?

Look out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe, another light comes on in vain
I tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air

Is there anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there) oh, oh
Anyone out there (anyone out there)

Anyone Out There was covered by Silver Bells.

In 2019, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Duran Duran gave an incredible performance at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida where they played Anyone Out There, Planet Earth and The Universe Alone (from the Paper Gods album).
