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 I'm on a ride and I want to get off But they won't slow down the round-about I sold the radio and TV set Don't want to be around when this gets out So 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 in 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 So why don't you use it? Try not to bruise it? Buy time don't loose 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 Oh the reflex what a game He's hiding all the cards The reflex is in charge of finding Treasure in the dark And watching over lucky clover Isn't that bizarre Every little thing the reflex does
