jigsaw  -  marillion

  we  are  jigsaw  pieces  aligned

  on  the  perimeter  edge

  interlocked  through  a  missing  piece

    we  are  renaissance  children  becalmed

  beneath  the  bridge  of  sighs

  forever  throwing  firebrands  at  the  stonework

    we  are  siamese  children  related  by  the  heart

    bleeding  from  the  surgery

  of  initial  confrontation

  holding  the  word  scalpels  on  trembling  lips

    stand  straight,  look  me

  in  the  eye  and  say  goodbye

  stand  straight,  we've  drifted

  past  the  point  of  reasons  why

    yesterday  starts  tomorrow,

  tomorrow  starts  today

  and  the  problem  always  seems  to  be

  we're  picking  up  the  pieces  on  the  ricochet

  this  is  the  ricochet

    drowning  tequila  sunsets,

  stowaways  on  midnight  ships

  refugees  of  romance

  plead  asylum  from  the  real

    scrambling  distress  signals

  on  random  frequencies

  forever  repatriated  on

  guilt  laden  morning  planes

  we  are  pilots  of  passion

  sweating  the  flight  on  course

  to  another  summit  conference,

  another  breakfast  time  divorce

  screaming  out  a  ceasefire,

  snowblind  in  an  avalanche  zone

  stand  straight,  look  me  in  the  eye

  and  say  goodbye,  say  goodbye

  stand  straight,

  we've  drifted  past  the  point  of  reasons  why

    yesterday  starts  tomorrow,  tomorrow  starts  today

    and  the  problem  always  seems  to  be

  we're  picking  up  the  pieces  on  the  ricochet

    this  is  the  ricochet

    are  we  trigger  happy?

  russian  roulette  in  the  waiting  room

    empty  chambers  embracing  the  end

    puzzled  visions  haunt  the  ripples  of  a  trevi  moon

  dream  coins  for  the  fountain  or  to  cover  your  eyes

    we  reached  ignition

  point  from  the  sparks  of  pleasantries

    we  sensed  the  smoke  advancing  from  horizons

    you  must  have  known

    that  i  was  planning  an  escape

    stand  straight,  look  me  in  the  eye

  and  say  goodbye,  say  goodbye

  stand  straight,

  we've  drifted  past  the  point  of  reasons  why

    yesterday  starts  tomorrow,

  tomorrow  starts  today,  starts  today

  and  the  problem  always  seems  to  be

  we're  picking  up  the  pieces  on  the  ricochet

    this  is  the  ricochet

    i'll  be  seeing  you  again,  on  the  ricochet

    will  you  show  me  the  pieces  next  time,

  on  the  ricochet

    i'll  be  seeing  you  again,  on  the  ricochet

    there's  a  problem,  there's  a  ricochet
