Lyric Cut To The Chase
It is the fire that lights itself
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim
It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill climb
A bearing on magnetic north
Growing farther away all the time
Can t stop moving
Can t stop moving
Can t stop...
You may be right
It s all a waste of time
I guess that s just a chance I m prepared to take
A danger I m prepared to face
Cut to the chase
It is the rocket that ignites itself
And launches its way to the stars
A driver on a busy freeway
Racing the oblivious cars
It s the motor of the western world
Spinning off to every extreme
Pure as a lover s desire
Evil as a murderer s dream
Young enough not to care too much
About the way things used to be
I m young enough to remember the future
The past has no claim on me
I m old enough not to care too much
About what you think of me
But I m young enough to remember the future
And the way things ought to be
Cut
Cut...
Cut to the chase
You may be right
It s all a waste of time
I guess that s just a chance I m prepared to take
A danger I m prepared to face
Cut to the chase
What kind of difference can one person make?
Cut to the chase
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim
It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill climb
A bearing on magnetic north
Growing farther away all the time
Can t stop moving
Can t stop moving
Can t stop...
