Jigsaw
We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edgeInterlocked through a missing pieceWe are renaissance children becalmed beneath the Bridge of SighsForever throwing firebrands at the stoneworkWe are Siamese children related by the heartBleeding from the surgery of initial confrontationHolding the word scalpels on trembling lips
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbyeStand straight, we've drifted past the points of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochet
Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight shipsRefugees of romance plead asylum from the realScrambling distress signals on random frequenciesForever repatriated on guilt laden morning planesWe are pilots of passion sweating in the flight on courseTo another summit conference, another breakfast time divorceScreaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zone
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbyeStand straight, we've drifted past the points of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochet
Are we trigger happy?Russian roulette in the waiting roomEmpty chambers embracing the endPuzzled visions haunt the ripples of a Trevi moonDream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyesWe reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantriesWe sensed the smoke advancing from horizonsYou must have known that I was concealing an escape
Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbyeStand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochet
I'll be seeing you again, on the ricochetThere's a problem, there's a ricochetI'll be seeing you again, on the ricochetThere's a problem, there's a ricochet
