[Verse 1]
Walking on air
Shoulder and head above you
Down in the street
Black canyons walking through

[Chorus 1]
Hooded sad eyes
Fixed on your shuffle shoes
Life is a clue in your crossword

[Verse 2]
Typewriter Turk
Telephone terror takes
Time to wind down
Push-button finger shakes

[Chorus 2]
City of dreams
Back to your quiet nightmare
Your life is a clue in the crossword

[Bridge]
Working to rule in your own time
Drag yourself home to your star sign page
Staying awake on cold yesterday's steak and warm beer
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Ladder of string
Climbing to sweet success
Homework aside
Your brain on the train to test

[Chorus 3]
Pick up the news
You left on the seat beside you
Your life is a clue in the crossword

[Outro]
Your life is a clue in the crossword
Your life is a clue in the crossword
