Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

I'll cross that bridge when I find it

Another day to make my stand, oh whoa

High time is no time for deciding

If I should find a helping hand, oh whoa

[PreChorus]

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 3]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Outro]

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
