Marillion - Jigsaw Lyrics
(fish / marillion)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 lipsStand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbyeStand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochetDrowning 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 the flight on courseTo another summit conference, another breakfast time divorceScreaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zoneStand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbyeStand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochetAre 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 planning an escapeStand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbyeStand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons whyYesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts todayAnd the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochetThis is the ricochetIll be seeing you again, on the ricochetWill you show me the pieces next time, on the ricochetIll be seeing you again, on the ricochetTheres a problem, theres a ricochet
