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.
