Lyrics

  • The Reflex

    [Verse 1]
    You've gone too far this time
    But I'm dancing on the Valentine
    I tell you somebody's fooling around
    With my chances on the danger line

    I'll cross that bridge when I find it
    Another day to make my stand, oh woah
    High time is no time for deciding
    If I should find a helping hand, oh woah

    [Refrain]
    Oh, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it
    Oh, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it

    [Chorus]
    The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
    And every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves you answered with a question mark

    [Verse 2]
    I'm on a ride, and I want to get off
    But they won't slow down the roundabout
    I sold the Renoir and TV set
    Don't wanna be around when this gets out

    [Refrain]
    So, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it
    Oh, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it

    [Chorus]
    The reflex is a lonely child, he's waiting in the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
    And every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves an answer with a question mark

    [Instrumental Break]

    [Refrain]
    So, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it
    Oh, why don't you use it?
    Try not to bruise it
    Buy time, don't lose it

    [Chorus]
    The reflex is a lonely child who's waiting by the park
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
    And every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves me answered with a question mark

    Oh, the reflex, what a game, he's hiding all the cards
    The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
    And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
    And every little thing the reflex does
    Leaves you answered with a question mark

  • [Verse 1]
    Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
    With your dance on the eventide
    You got me coming up with answers
    All of which I deny
    I said it again
    Could I please rephrase it
    Maybe I can catch a ride
    I couldn't really put it much plainer
    But I'll wait till you decide
    Send me your warning siren
    As if I could ever hide
    Last time La Luna

    [Chorus]
    I light my torch and wave it for the
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

    [Verse 2]
    Breaking away with the best of both worlds
    A smile that you can't disguise
    Every minute I keep finding
    Clues that you leave behind
    Save me from these reminders
    As if I'd forget tonight
    This time La Luna

    [Chorus]
    I light my torch and wave it for the
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

    [Instrumental]

    [Chorus]
    I light my torch and wave it for the
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
    New moon on Monday
    And a firedance through the night (Fire dance through the night...)
    I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite (I light my torch and wave it for the...)

  • [Verse 1]
    I shed my skin
    When the party was about to begin
    I'm light years away but I'm walking back tonight
    Of all nights
    When I should be feeling just right
    Don't want to be in public
    My head is full of chopstick
    I don't like it

    [Chorus]
    Something on my mind
    Breaking open doors I had sealed up before
    Something on my mind
    Makes me run when I thought I'd run too far

    [Verse 2]
    Somebody shaking my tree
    Maybe that somebody is me
    I'm standing in the light but
    I'm making a break for the shadows
    On the cinema wall
    They should be mine but I'm not that tall
    Now I'm saying this in private
    If I had a car I'd drive it
    Insane

    [Chorus]

    [Outro]
    I'm looking for cracks in the pavement

  • [Verse 1]
    Midnight I think I'm going to make it
    Feel the magical lash of 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

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Verse 2]
    Midnight so what's the point of faking
    For a kiss or a whisper
    You pull out a desperate prize
    Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelet
    Make them pay for their chances
    With money they don't think that's nice

    [Chorus]

  • [Verse 1]
    Why did you let me run
    When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole
    Where your heart should be
    Liar-couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
    Just take a look (before you run off and hide)
    At your victim
    Arise
    Clouds on you shoulder
    Aren't they grazed by the afterglow
    How quiet they gather
    When the storm is about to blow

    [Chorus]
    No don't look away
    Caught in the crossfire
    And it ain't no wind of change
    I'm talking of crime and passion's rage

    [Verse 2]
    Summer of madness or the undertow
    Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire
    On a stranger's smile
    Bride of wire-how disguise so easily cracked
    Saw your heart turn spade
    This orchid's turned to black
    Graze on your shoulder
    Like the clouds in the afterglow
    How quiet they gather
    When the storm is about to blow

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    Way down by the shoulder
    In the haze of the afterglow
    Stranded together
    And the storm is about to blow

    [Chorus]

  • [Verse 1]
    Telegram force and ready
    I knew this was a big mistake
    There's a fine line drawing
    My senses together
    And I think it's about to break

    [Pre-Chorus]
    If I listen close I can hear them singers
    Voices in your body coming through on the radio

    [Chorus]
    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Through the borderline

    [Verse 2]
    Nightshades on a warning
    Give me strength at least give me a light
    Give me anything even sympathy
    There's a chance you could be right

    [Pre-Chorus]
    If I listen close I can hear them singers
    Voices in your body coming through on the radio

    [Chorus]
    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Through the borderline

    [Chorus]
    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Through the borderline

    [Pre-Chorus]
    If I listen close I can hear them singers
    Voices in your body coming through on the radio

    [Chorus]
    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Through the borderline

    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Gonna move up to the borderline

    The Union of the Snake is on the climb
    Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
    Through the borderline

  • [Verse 1]
    Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
    They want you to speak but the music is louder than
    All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core-but

    [Chorus]
    The shadows are on your side
    As soon as the lights go down
    In the darkest place you can find
    You belong to the hands of the night

    [Verse 2]
    Promises made with a distant friend
    Truth should be known it can only bend
    To a tune of its own
    Hey you'll never hear that voice again
    Scandal in white on a tangled vine
    With everybody to say that you're having the
    Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    Spinning a compass to choose your way
    You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
    Whichever way you can be sure-that

    [Chorus]

    [Outro]
    Shadows on your side
    The shadows are on your side

  • [Instrumental]

  • [Intro]

    [Verse 1]
    Those words are all remainders
    Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
    They lay back laughing at naivete's star
    Awaken all those whispers in the dusty shadow of a
    Passing favor
    I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
    I couldn't see from so far
    Was I chasing after rainbows
    One thing for sure you never answered when I called
    And I wiped away the water from my face

    [Chorus]
    To look through the eyes of a stranger
    For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
    Trading in my shelter for danger
    I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
    In the eyes of a stranger

    [Verse 2]
    Can't tell the real from reflections
    When all these faces look the same to me
    In every city such a desolate dream
    Some days are strange to number
    Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
    A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
    (I could have sworn) in one evening
    And I'm not seized in desperation
    No steel reproaches on the table from before
    But I still can feel those splinters of ice

    [Chorus]
    I look through the eyes of a stranger
    For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
    Trading in my shelter for danger
    I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
    In the eyes of a stranger

    [Instrumental]

    [Verse 3]
    I must be chasing after rainbows
    One thing for sure you never answer when I call
    And I wipe away the water from my face

    [Chorus]
    To look through the eyes of a stranger
    For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
    Trading in my shelter for danger
    I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
    In the eyes of a stranger

    [Outro]
    In the eyes of a stranger...
