The Reflex
New Moon on Monday
(I'm Looking For) Cracks In The Pavement
I Take The Dice
Of Crime And Passion
Union of the Snake
Shadows On Your Side
Tiger Tiger
The Seventh Stranger
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

New Moon on Monday
[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
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

[Refrain]
Last time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the

[Chorus]
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance 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

[Refrain]
This time La Luna
I light my torch and wave it for the

[Chorus]
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I light my torch and wave it for the
[Chorus]
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite

[Outro]
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance 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)
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance 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)
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night (Fire dance through the night)

(I'm Looking For) Cracks In The Pavement
[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]
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

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

[Outro]
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

Something on my mind
Breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind

I Take The Dice
[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
When a kiss or a whisper
Can 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]
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

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 (I take the dice)

[Outro]
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile (I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognize (I take the dice)

Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile (I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again

Of Crime And Passion
[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

[Refrain]
Clouds on your shoulder
Aren't they grazed by the afterglow?
How quiet they gather
When the storm's about to blow

[Chorus]
Now don't look away (Crime and passion)
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)
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

[Refrain]
Graze on your shoulder
Like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather
When the storm is about to blow

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

[Refrain]
Way down by the shoulder
In the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together
And the storm's about to blow

[Chorus]
Now don't look away (Crime and passion)
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)
I'm talking of crime and passion

[Outro]
Don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change (Crime and passion)
I'm talking of crime and passion
Don't look away (Crime and passion)
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion

Union of the Snake
[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

Shadows On Your Side
[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

[Chorus]
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

[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

[Chorus]
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

Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh

[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]
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

[Outro]
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
[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
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 a stranger

[Verse 2]
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 Sundays seems to have drifted right by
(I could have sworn) in one evening

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
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 a stranger

[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
For rumour 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 a stranger
[Outro]
Ohhh
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
