-->Ricochet (?)


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