Intro
Verse 1
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
Pre-chorus 1
We are Siamese children related by the heart
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation
Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips
Chorus
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
Interlude
Verse 2
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
Pre-chorus 2
We are pilots of passion, sweating the flight on course
To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce
Screaming out a cease fire, snow-blind in an avalanche zone
Chorus
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
Solo
| Dm F | C Bb | x6
Bridge
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 concealing an escape
Chorus
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
Outro
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
(fade out)
