THE REFLEX
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 dangerline · I'll cross that bridge when I find it · another day to make my stand oh · high time is no time for deciding · if I should find a helping hand oh
why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
the reflex is an only child · he's waiting by the park · the reflex is in charge to finding treasure in the dark · and watching over lucky clover · isn't that bizarre · every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off · but they won't slow down the roundabout · I sold the renoir and the tv set · don't want to be around when this gets out
so why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
the reflex is an only child · he's waiting in the park · the reflex in charge of finding treasure in the dark · and watching over lucky clover · isn't that bizarre · every little thing the reflex does is an answer with a question mark
so why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
why don't you use it · try not to bruise it · buy time don't lose it
the reflex is an only child · he's waiting by the park · the reflex is in charge to finding treasure in the dark · and watching over lucky clover · isn't that bizarre · 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 · every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark
NEW MOON ON MONDAY
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 · but 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
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 satelite · new moon on monday · and a firedance through the night · I stayed the cold day with a lonely satelite
breaking away with the beast 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
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 satelite · new moon on monday · and a firedance through the night · I stayed the cold day with a lonely satelite
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 satelite · new moon on monday · and a firedance through the night · I stayed the cold day with a lonely satelite
(I'M LOOKING FOR) CRACKS IN THE PAVEMENT
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
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
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
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 · 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
I'm looking for cracks in the pavement
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 · 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
I TAKE THE DICE
midnight I think I'm gonna 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
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 recognise · 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
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
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 recognise · 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
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 recognise · 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 recognise
OF CRIME AND PASSION
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 your shoulder · aren't they grazed by the afterglow · how quiet they gather when the storm is about to blow
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
summer of madness of 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
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
way down by the shoulder · in the haze of the afterglow · stranded together and the storm is about to blow
no don't look away · caught in the crossfire · and it ain't no wind of change · I'm talking of crime and passion · don't look away · caught in the crossfire · and it ain't no wind of change · I'm talking of crime and passion
UNION OF THE SNAKE
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
if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio
the union of the snake is on the climb · moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break · through the borderline
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
if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio
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 · through the borderline
if I listen close I can hear them singers oh · voices in your body coming through on the radio
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 · 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
SHADOWS ON YOUR SIDE
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 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
promises made with a distant friend · truth should be known it can only blend 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 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 · 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
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 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 · 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
shadows on your side · the shadows are on your side · shadows on your side · the shadows are on your side · shadows on your side · the shadows are on your side

THE SEVENTH STRANGER
those words are all remainders · echoes growing in the heart of twilight · they lay back laughing at naivety's star · awaken all those whispers · the dusty shadow of a passing favour · 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 · to look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours 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 the stranger
can't tell the real from reflection · 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 sunday's 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 · I look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours 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 the stranger
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 · to look through the eyes of a stranger · for rumours 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 · walking away like a stranger · from rumours 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 the stranger
in the eyes of the stranger · in the eyes of the stranger
SECRET OKTOBER
wise on a birthday party · in a world full of surprising fireworks · and sudden silence
lies on a stranger's bed · the new day breaks like a speeding train on an old friend · ever 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
sure eyes awake before the dancing is over · wise or naked in secret oktober
free fall 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 · tomorrow you'll be content to watch as the lightning plays along the wires · and you'll wonder
sure eyes awake before the dancing is over · wise or naked in secret oktober
sure eyes awake before the dancing is over · wise or naked in secret oktober
MAKE ME SMILE (COME UP AND SEE ME)
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 · oh · come up and see me · make me smile · oh · 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 that you have to hide · oh · so come up and see me · 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 · oh · come up and see me · make me smile · oh · or do what you want running wild
come up and see me · make me smile · oh · or do what you want running wild
