Marillion - Jigsaw lyrics

(fish / marillion)<br><br>We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge<br>Interlocked through a missing piece<br>We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs<br>Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework<br>We are siamese children related by the heart<br>Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation<br>Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips<br><br>Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye<br>Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why<br>Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today<br>And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet<br>This is the ricochet<br><br>Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships<br>Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real<br>Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies<br>Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes<br>We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course<br>To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce<br>Screaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zone<br><br>Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye<br>Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why<br>Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today<br>And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet<br>This is the ricochet<br><br>Are we trigger happy? <br>Russian roulette in the waiting room<br>Empty chambers embracing the end<br>Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon<br>Dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes<br>We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries<br>We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons<br>You must have known that I was planning an escape<br><br>Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye<br>Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why<br>Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts today<br>And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet<br>This is the ricochet<br><br>I'll be seeing you again, on the ricochet<br>Will you show me the pieces next time, on the ricochet<br>I'll be seeing you again, on the ricochet<br>There's a problem, there's a ricochet
