Best laid plans

My ambition is far greater than i seem to be
Salieri on his knees
My perdition is hanging over me like birds of prey
Circling the breeze

I guess i should be getting down to business
I'd really love to but the thing is …

The walls between us are far too tall and how high you climb
Is just how high you fall
Its only temporary optimism is very hard to kill
When you're coming to a crawl

I guess i should be getting down to business
I'd really love to but the thing is …

Something has gone wrong with all my best-laid plans
And i need anesthesia
What i had my finger on is now out of hand
I need anesthesia and it sure feels good.

I have become certain that potential is the burden of a man
Who has a good excuse
Resigned to fate i wait for experience to culminate into
Something i can use

I guess i should be getting down to business
I'd really love to but the thing is …

Something has gone wrong with all my best-laid plans
I need anesthesia
What i had my finger on is now out of hand
I need anesthesia

It sure feels good to me
Let the breeze blow through my ears
Let the oil run through my gears and ease my pain
Because the fact remains …

Something has gone wrong with all my best-laid plans
What i had my finger on is now out of hand
I swear to god almighty that i've done what i can
Now i need anesthesia f
Or this poor creature
And it sure feels good.
