Posied And Ready

You're poised and ready

Unable to make a sound

Your hands are sweaty

As you look down

You're running already

When you hit the ground

You're willing and able

So nice to have around

The head of the table

Is tightly wound

The noise is loud

So turn it down

When you think about it

Try to wrap your head around it

You find none of it

Makes any sense at all

And people you once trusted

Are now looking so disgusted

And they're waiting anxiously

For you to fall

You take for granted

And take what you can grab

Fore say what's landed

Into your lap

You shake the hand

And take a stab

And there's no need to doubt it

There's never been

Two ways about it

It takes a thick skin

There's ways around it

But no way in

When you think about it

Try to wrap your head around it

You find none of it

Makes any sense at all

And people you once trusted

Are now looking so disgusted

And they're waiting anxiously

For you to fall

And there you go

Telling everybody you know

Selling a one man show

So take a look around you now

And soak it up and take a bow

You're living and crawling

And trying to catch a breath

You're stalling and dying

A sudden death

And all the while

You second guess

And now the time has come

For it to stop

The clown was done

So call a cop

You're like a boy

In a china shop

You're poised and ready

Unable to make a sound

Your hands are sweaty

As you look down

You're running already

When you hit the ground
