《Poised And Ready》歌词

[00:00:00] Poised And Ready - Brendan Benson

[00:00:13] You're poised and ready unable to make a sound

[00:00:16] Your hands are sweaty as you look down

[00:00:20] You're running already when you've hit the ground

[00:00:25] You're willing and able so nice to have around

[00:00:29] The head of the table is tightly wound

[00:00:33] The noise is loud so turn it down

[00:00:39] When you think about it try to wrap your head around it

[00:00:44] You find none of it makes any sense at all

[00:00:52] And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted

[00:00:57] And they're waiting anxiously for you to fall

[00:01:04] You take for granted and take what you can grab

[00:01:08] Forsake what's landing into your lap

[00:01:11] You shake the hand and take a stab

[00:01:17] There's no need to doubt it

[00:01:20] There's never been two ways about it

[00:01:23] It takes a thick skin

[00:01:24] There's ways around it but no way in

[00:01:30] And when you think about it try to wrap your head around it

[00:01:35] You find none of it makes any sense at all

[00:01:43] And people you once trusted are now looking so disgusted

[00:01:49] And they're waiting anxiously for you to fall

[00:01:56] And there you go turning everybody you know

[00:02:02] Turning a one man show so take a look around you now

[00:02:08] And suck it up and take a bow

[00:02:12] You're living and crawling and trying to catch a breath

[00:02:16] You're stalling and dying a sudden death

[00:02:19] And all the while you second guess

[00:02:38] And now the time has come to for it to stop

[00:02:41] The crowd was done so call the cops

[00:02:45] You're like a boy who turned and shot

[00:02:51] You're poised and ready unable to make a sound

[00:02:54] Your hands are sweaty if you look down

[00:02:58] You're running already when you hit the ground
