Cut To The Chase lyrics

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
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

What kind of difference
Can one person make?
Cut to the chase
