The Reflex
Duran Duran - Topic Lyrics

The reflex
The reflex

The reflex
The reflex

The reflex
The reflex

The reflex
The reflex

You've gone too far this time
You've exceeded the limits this time

But I'm dancing on the Valentine
But I am enjoying myself despite everything

I tell you somebody's fooling around
I am sure somebody is playing a trick

With my chances on the danger line
With my opportunities on the brink of risk

I'll cross that bridge when I find it
I will deal with that problem when I come to it

Another day to make my stand, oh woah
Another day to take a firm position

High time is no time for deciding
The time to act is now, not later

If I should find a helping hand, oh woah
If I get help to solve my problem

Why don't you use it?
Why don't you utilize what you have?

Try not to bruise it
Try to use it gently

Buy time, don't lose it
Take more time, but don't waste the opportunity

Oh, why don't you use it?
Oh, why don't you utilize what you have?

The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
The reflex is like a lonely child waiting for someone at the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
The reflex is responsible for discovering hidden treasures in the dark

And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And guarding the lucky clover, isn't that strange?

And every little thing the reflex does
And every single action of the reflex

Leaves you answered with a question mark
Leaves you puzzled

I'm on a ride and I want to get off
I am on a journey I want to end

But they won't slow down the roundabout
But they won't let me exit the ride

I sold the Renoir and TV set
I have sold expensive possessions

Don't wanna be around when this gets out
I don't want to be here when this news spreads

So, why don't you use it?
So, why don't you utilize what you have?

The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting in the park
The reflex is like a lonely child waiting in the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
The reflex is responsible for discovering hidden treasures in the dark

And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And guarding the lucky clover, isn't that strange?

And every little thing the reflex does
And every single action of the reflex

Leaves an answer with a question mark, play
Creates more doubts than answers

So, why don't you use it?
So, why don't you utilize what you have?

Try not to bruise it
Try to use it gently

Buy time, don't lose it
Take more time, but don't waste the opportunity

The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
The reflex is like a lonely child waiting for someone at the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
The reflex is responsible for discovering hidden treasures in the dark

And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And guarding the lucky clover, isn't that strange?

And every little thing the reflex does
And every single action of the reflex

Leaves me answered with a question mark
Leaves me with more doubts than answers

Oh, the reflex, what a game, he's hiding all the cards
Oh, the reflex, it's an interesting game, always hiding something

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
The reflex is responsible for discovering hidden treasures in the dark
