[Intro: Simon Le Bon]

The reflex

The reflex

The reflex

The reflex-fle-fle-fle-fle-flex


[Verse 1: Simon Le Bon]

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


[Pre-Chorus: Simon Le Bon]

I'll cross that bridge when I find it

Another day to make my stand, oh whoa

High time is no time for deciding

If I should find a helping hand, oh whoa


[Refrain: Simon Le Bon]

Oh, why don't you use it?

Try not to bruise it

Buy time, don't lose it

Oh, why don't you use it?

Try not to bruise it

Buy time, don't lose it


[Chorus 1: Simon le Bon]

The reflex is a lonely child who's waiting by the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

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

And every little thing the reflex does

Leaves you answered with a question mark


[Verse 2: Simon Le Bon]

I'm on a ride, and I want to get off

But they won't slow down the roundabout

I sold the Renoir and TV set

Don't wanna be around when this gets out


[Refrain: Simon Le Bon]

So, why don't you use it?

Try not to bruise it

Buy time, don't lose it


[Bridge: Simon Le Bon]

Why-y-y-y-y why why why-y-y (Yeah)

Why-y-y-y-y why why why-y-y (Yeah)

Why-y-y-y-y don't you use it?


[Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon]

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

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

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

And every little thing the reflex does

Leaves an answer with a question mark

Fle-Flex


[Instrumental Break]


[Refrain: Simon le Bon]

So, why-y-y-y-y don't you use it?

Try not to bruise it

Buy time, don't lose it


[Chorus 1: Simon Le Bon]

The reflex is a lonely child who's waiting by the park

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

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

And every little thing the reflex does

Leaves me answered with a question mark


[Chorus 2: Simon Le Bon]

Oh, the reflex, what a game, he's hiding all the cards

The reflex is in charge of finding treasure...
