lyrics

I’ve got extreme imagination - That’s just the way that I am
Here I’m standing at a crossroad - Wondering how to plan the attack
And though it seems like it now - As I gaze into this crowd
Goals all distorted - And all timed out

Well you know it’s not pleasing - Waking up without any plan
I need some public relations - I need to know where things in life stand
And though it seems like it now - As I gaze into this crowd
Goals all distorted - And all timed out

And I'm working on the new promotion plan
And I’m competing with myself - Giving up command

I've been marketing like an amateur - Ever since the day I was born
As I survey the damages - It’s time to rip-up the scorecards
And though it seems like it now - As I gaze into this crowd
Goals all distorted - And then all timed out

It seems like it - Validation works like this
Don’t want to feel like I’m selling myself anymore

I’ve got extreme imagination - That’s just the way that I am
I’m standing at a crossroads - Wondering how to plan an attack
And though it seems like it now - As I gaze into this crowd
Goals all distorted - And then all timed out

Floating on the notion of a better plan
I’m competing with myself - Giving up command
And I'm working on this new promotion plan
Is there anybody that's buying what I’ve got planned?
