Marillion Jigsaw Lyrics

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 scalpels 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
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet

This is 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
s_____ind 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
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet

This is 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
We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons

You must have known that 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
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet

This is the ricochet

I'll be seeing you again
On the ricochet
Will you show me the pieces next time
On the ricochet
I'll be seeing you again
On the ricochet
There's a problem
there's a ricochet
