[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 bruisе it
Buy time, don't lose it
[Chorus 1: Simon le Bon]
The rеflex 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...
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

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 bruisе it
Buy time, don't lose it

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?
