You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails

From wiser men
Who have been through it all
And the ghosts of failures
Spray canned up on the wall

We've got to judge the judge
Got to find the finds
We've got to scheme the schemes
Have to line the lines

We must stake the stakes
And show the shown
We must take the takes
And know the known

Try to place the place
Where we can face the face
Face the face
Got to face the face

You must have tried and the defied belief
Maybe found futility in insular grief
I need your hunger just as you need mine
A million appetites can swallow up time

We've got to fool the fools
And plan the plans
We must rule the rules
Got to stand the stands

We must fight the fight
And fall the falls
We must light the light
And call the calls

We must race the race
So we can face the face
New York, Chicago
London and Glasgow

Keep looking
Keep on cooking
Keep on looking
Gotta stay on this case

Study the pix
Watch the fix
We've got to find the face
Try to place the place where we can face the face

You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
