Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the DanceDanceRevolution cut of The Reflex. 

You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day
To make my stand, oh oh
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand, oh oh

Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it?
Buy time don't lose it

* Why don't you use it?
  Try not to bruise it?
  Buy time don't lose it

The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
