"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
High time is no time
for deciding
If I should find a
helping hand
CHORUS
So 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 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
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
CHORUS
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
Evey little thing the
reflex does
Leaves you answered
with a question mark
2. 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
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
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
3. (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
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
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 privaate
If I had a car I'd
drive it
Insane
CHORUS
I'm looking for
cracks in the pavement
4. 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
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
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
CHORUS
5. 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 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
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
Way down by the
shoulder
In the haze of the
afterglow
Stranded together
And the storm is
about to blow
CHORUS
6. Union of
the Snake
Telegram force and
ready
I knew this was a big
mistake
There'sa fine line
drawing
My senses together
And I think it's
about to break
If I listen close I
can hear them singers
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
The Union of the
Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's
gonna break
Gonna move up to the
borderline
7. 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
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
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
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
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on
your side
8. Tiger Tiger
(Instrumental)
9. 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 in 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 a
stranger
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
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 a
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 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
