[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...

[Intro]
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now

[Verse 1]
I made a break, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go

I know you're watching me
Every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs
And the looks and the pictures
That give your game away, yeah

There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say

[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show

[Verse 2]
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums
They all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind?
Can you see in the snow?

And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear war

There's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say

[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show

Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I'd die
Every time it passes by?
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make it show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Wise on a birthday party
In a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence
Sh......
Lies on a stranger's bed
The new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Never expected, but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car
All night parties, cocktail bars and smile
When the butterfly escapes the killing jar

[Chorus 1]
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over
Wise or naked in secret Oktober

[Verse 2]
Freefall on a windy morning shore
Nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you'd ever been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud
Like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder
Racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow you'll be content to watch
As the lightning plays along the wires and you'll wonder

[Chorus 1]x2

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
Only metal, what a bore!

Blue eyes, blue eyes
How come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile

Resist, resist
It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh

So come up and see me to make me smile, oh
Or do what you want, running wild

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth

Away, away
And don't say maybe you'll try

To come up and see me to make me smile
Or do what you want running wild

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

I bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down in electric chair
Steaming crowds they gather and they shout

[Backing singers Simon LeBon]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

[Backing singers Simon LeBon]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

[Backing singers Simon LeBon]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on

How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion
