Vocal:John Flansburgh | |
What's gonna happen to Chess Piece Face | |
There go I but for my face | |
All I know could be defaced by the facts in the life of Chess Piece Face | |
I don't know where he lives | |
Or if he knows to sail | |
Or if little schemes like this one ever cross his trail | |
But I don't believe he's dreaming | |
Or if he cares to know | |
So I shudder* in my lampshade | |
So, what's gonna happen to Chess Piece Face | |
There I go but for my face | |
All I know could be defaced by the facts in the life of Chess Piece Face | |
Chess Piece Face | |
Chess Piece Face | |
Chess Piece Face | |
Notes | |
*This might conceivably be 'shutter.' | |
Some live versions add an 'all hail' at the beginning of the last line. |

What' s gonna happen to Chess Piece Face | |
There go I but for my face | |
All I know could be defaced by the facts in the life of Chess Piece Face | |

Or if little schemes like this one ever cross his trail | |
But I don' t believe he' s dreaming | |
Or if he cares to know | |
So I shudder in my lampshade | |
So, what' s gonna happen to Chess Piece Face | |
